This suddenly started appearing on my various computers in the 1Password Chrome extension.

Now I have to click twice every time to copy a username or password.

Please either disable this immediately or provide a checkbox to turn it off.

Thank you!

Hey! Looks like a bug that the existing setting to turn this off isn't working. We're on it.

However, is there a reason you want to turn it off? Also this prompt primarily shows when you copy details on a login that doesn't have the proper URL on it. Is there a reason you don't want to add a URL to those logins? Are they not used for autofill?

Thanks!

This is really annoying that this started doing this. I hope this gets patched and fixed immedately.

Just because I have a tab open and I click copy on an entry does not mean I am on a page even remotely related to the credentials itself. I shouldn't get any warnings or I should have the ability to turn these annoying popups off. These are not used for autofill and shouldn't be prompted to be saved. Now I have to dismiss an extra popup every time I click copy on an entry? Please fix this.

For context, we often just use the browser extension to find an entry, the entry doesn't even necessarily need to be for something on the internet (e.g. environment variables, password to an application on the computer, username for logging into a remote computer, etc.). These types of things will and should never be prompted to be saved.

This is the pop up for your reference:

Interesting - do you use the desktop application at all or just the browser extension?

We'll be shipping a fix for the setting to turn this off shortly. Should help your use case either way. Cheers!

I should add the missing URLs, but I have thousands of logins and sometimes just need to log in quickly.

Gotcha, thanks for the context. In some cases we'll actually give you a quick way to add the URL is it's on our verified list. Should help for your logins on most popular websites and overall be faster than a copy.

We were able to find the bug and getting the fix up now for the setting. Thanks for your feedback!

This has started popping up for me in the last week or so. I like others want a setting to turn this off.

There is a good reddit thread that indicates the reasons for disabling this option here: This is annoying : r/1Password

My guess is this is supposed to help, but there are many cases where you are just using the browser extension to lookup a password to copy/paste to another window (VPN client, etc) that will never have a website URL and it just becomes annoying.

It never use to do this and started after the most recent 1Password browser extension update.

Heyo! As others have mentioned, this prompt will show whenever the URL you're on is not added to any login you have stored in 1Password. This is similar to an earlier phishing prevention prompt we released in January and the setting to turn it off is the same - from the browser extension right click the 1Password icon > Settings > Notification > Warn about potential phishing.

I was having the same issue and found this topic. I think the wording of the setting is slightly misleading. I took it to mean that it would alert or stop me if, for example, I pasted my paypal details into a site like paypaal. Instead if I try copying credentials from the chrome app as I use different browser windows it pops up the ‘unrecognised website’ warning which becomes pretty annoying pretty fast. I had enabled this setting for my company’s users as it is useful as a phishing prevention measure, but it gets in the way if they are on one site and need to copy out the credentials to another site.

Thanks for the feedback @knightknight! I can understand how this setting could be better clarified, and how it could become frustrating quite quickly if copying and pasting credentials between browser windows is a regular part of your workflow.

If you have any ideas for how it could work better for you, such as a less intrusive warning, or an additional option that limits alerts to sites that are visually similar to the stored URL, I'd be happy to file a feature request with the team on your behalf. Just let me know!

Hi, the setting says it will alert when login details are pasted into a site that is not saved in 1Password, but instead it is triggering when credentials are being copied, so there is an inconsistency between what it does and what it is meant to do. I can see a use case for the message if I land on a paypaal phishing page, 1Password does not automatically paste in my paypal details, and I try to force it to do so by clicking the Autofill button. Aside from that though there are many legitimate reasons why a user would want to copy a username or password out of 1Password and the alert would be just getting in their way.

Hi @knightknight, thanks for the feedback! I’ve filed this with the team to look into how we can improve on this moving forwards.
