Turn off autosubmit

@smwardle

You'll need to take this step for each browser you have 1Password installed in.

1. Right-click 1Password in the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Autofill & save.
4. Turn off auto-submit - "Sign in automatically after autofill 1Password will automatically submit forms after filling logins."

Thanks, was trying to stop it in the app settings.

You're most welcome.

Hi, one of the reasons this feature does not work well is various "I'm human" or CAPTCHA type fields that are often on login pages. It seems 1PW doesn't know those are present on the page and tries to auto-submit regardless, which obviously leads to the login attempt failing.

If this could be addressed, I think this feature could be worthwhile.

Thank you for the report, @lfanchi.

The team has an internal work item to improve how Autosubmit works with websites that use a captcha, and I've added your feedback there. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

@1P_Evon I hope you guys see the bigger picture here. This auto-submit "feature" is fundamentally impossible to implement generically. If it works properly, it is at best a tiny convenience to the user. And if it does not work properly, it is a huge headache. This represents a terrible trade-off.

There are so many edge cases: CAPTCHA tests, "I'm human" checks, "Remember me" checkboxes. As well as website-specific options (such as "log in as: administrator/user" or "take me to: home/account-overview/billing"). Trying to handle every possibility, in every human language, represents a colossal waste of engineering effort for something of such negligible utility.

If you guys remove this feature completely, I sincerely doubt that any user would complain.

Thank you for the feedback. If you wish, you can turn off the autosubmit feature by following these steps:

1. Open your browser.
2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
3. Click Autofill & save.
4. Turn off "Sign in automatically after autofill".

Alternatively, the latest version of 1Password in the browser allows you to turn off autosubmit for specific pages:

If you guys remove this feature completely, I sincerely doubt that any user would complain.

Autosubmit has been requested by a significant number of people over the years. 🙂
