Feedback: Universal sign-in, a new Autofill Experience

Noticed this morning this Sign in prompt when I go on a site that is stored in my 1P. Can’t find any info about it. Anyone got any ideas when it was released and do we have any control over it?

Hello folks! 

Thanks for all the feedback everyone has shared about 1Password’s new universal sign-in experience. 1Password now brings password, passkey, and other sign-in options into a single and convenient prompt for all of your logins. 

As we continue refining the new experience, based on feedback and reports from customers, the new experience has been temporarily turned off for 1Password Business users. If you use 1Password through your employer, you’ll see the classic experience for now. We plan to re-enable the new experience for business customers soon and will share updates as they become available.

If you use a personal 1Password account, and you’d like to use the classic experience too, you can follow these steps: 

  1. Right click the 1Password icon in your browser’s toolbar and select Settings.
  2. Choose Autofill & save from the side menu.
  3. Toggle off Use universal sign-in for logins.

You can turn universal sign-in back on with these steps: 

  1. Right click the 1Password icon in your browser’s toolbar and select Settings.
  2. Choose Autofill & save from the side menu.
  3. Toggle on Use universal sign-in for logins.

If you’re using 1Password Business, provided by your employer, then the feature is turned off for those accounts for now (and you won’t see the toggle to turn it back on) while we work to smooth out a few rough spots.

In general, I’m really liking the new Universal Sign-in UI, but I’m finding that on some sites it is appearing even when I’m already signed in, especially on new page navigation. Which then blocks the site UI in appropriately. The site where I notice this most consistently is Veracross’ Axiom interface (https://axiom.veracross.com):

Well that’s no good. We’re using the business licensed version for work. Apparently they have pulled it back on the version we are on based on feedback and they are working on some fixes. So for time being I don’t get it.

Just to add my voice, even with the universal sign in off, the usage of 1p has changed significantly and is at best 50% usable on Chrome/edge now. Its slower, it only works 50% of the time, it gets more confused on passkeys and popup logins. Happens across many web apps. A downgrade at the moment and “turning” off does not fully work.

​@BShade 

I’m sorry that you’re running into issues when using universal sign-in. Would you mind opening a ticket with our support team by sending an email to support@1Password.com? They can look into this further so that we can find out what isn’t working for you. After emailing in, you'll receive an automated reply with a Support ID. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place.

I have a significant issue that should be easy to address. I need 1P to keep track of logins across many different subdomains. The new AutoFill is not doing a good job of recognizing the subdomain and instead shows a list of all the logins that match the domain

 

 

The field level auto-fill gets it right every time

 

What I’d like to see is for the matching subdomain at the top of the list

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve shared your use case and suggestion with our team internally. 

For the time being, try using the “Only fill on this exact host” autofill behaviour for those logins: Change where a login is suggested and filled

I’m running the latest stable builds of Firefox (157), 1Password 8, and the 1Password extension for Firefox on macOS 27.0.

 

Firefox is the only browser where I don’t have the ability to use the Universal sign-in capability. It doesn’t even show up in the settings for the extension.

 

Anyone else seeing this as well? The blog post page (https://1password.com/blog/introducing-universal-sign-in) indicates that this should work in Firefox, but it does not, at least in macOS. Haven’t tried my Windows machine yet.

 

Thanks.

Thank you for the question! We’re working to release the new universal sign-in experience for Firefox as soon as possible.

Obviously I'm a little late to the party on this thread, but I've only just now encountered this Universal Sign-in prompt for the first time on my Mac.  I see this topic is in the 1P for Work section and I'm using 1P Personal, but this is the only thread I could find regarding feedback on this feature (the Topic Search function could use improvement).  I didn’t want to start a whole new topic just to add a voice to the feedback.

 

Anyway, I turned the feature off immediately, and wanted to chime in my feedback about why, though admittedly it’s mostly a repeat of criticisms several others have already expressed (another reason I didn’t want to create a new topic).  One bit regarding the suggestions function I haven’t seen others mention though.

 

I do NOT like any sort of visual intrusion into the browser’s UI.  No pop-ups, period, particularly automatic ones I didn’t ask for in the first place!  And most *especially* I hate animated stuff.  The slide in/slide out is just a distraction, and slows everything down.  In fact, I have as many animations disabled as possible, not only in the browser, but in the OS itself via Windows and MacOS’s accessibiliity options--and I actually think 1P should notice and honor such settings, BTW, especially from the Accessibility standpoint.  Nonetheless, everything about the prompt is just awful in these regards.

 

However, and more to the point for why I wanted to leave feedback, I currently have “Show autofill suggestions when a field is selected” turned OFF in the 1P extension--that’s for the old sign in functionality obviously.  My point there being I already have 1P’s automatic sign-in pop-ups turned off!  With that setting disabled, 1P didn’t pop up anything even when I selected a field, nevermind when I simply visited a page without clicking on any fields.  I use a hotkey or I click the 1P icon directly to bring up suggestions, a deliberately user-invoked procedure.  I don’t want 1P preemptively popping up anything at all, even when I select a field.  Don’t try to guess what I'm doing, don't “suggest”, I'll tell the app what I want it to do--if I want it to do anything at all.

 

Universal Sign-In ignores the fact that I have such suggestions turned off already, so it’s now yet another, secondary “suggestion” pop-up, completely unwanted and unasked for.  And worse, it does it merely on page visit, before I’ve even selected a field (or often the website itself pre-selects the field for you, which admittedly I find that annoying too but that part is not 1P’s fault).

 

I think the overall concept of Universal Sign-in itself is a nice idea, but as others have already said, the UI implementation is just awful.  If there were a way to use USI without the pop-ups at all (via the autofill hotkey or some new hotkey, or by clicking on the extension's icon in the field or browser toolbar--all options the old autofill system can already be used by), I’d consider turning USI back on.

 

As long as the automatic, preemptive pop-ups are the only way to use it, it will remain permanently off.  And if some day in the future USI becomes the only system in use and still works the way it does currently, that will be the day I’ll be uninstalling 1P in the Browser.  Yes, I hate this sort of intrusive pop-up behavior that much.

​@Mousit 

Thank you for the feedback! The “Show autofill suggestions when a field is selected” setting applies only to suggestions in the inline menu. The new sign-in experience doesn’t rely on selecting individual fields, so that setting doesn’t affect it.

That said, I understand how this distinction could be unclear, and I’ve shared your feedback with our team internally.

I’m glad the classic experience works better for your workflow. We continue to support it alongside the new sign-in experience for anyone who prefers that autofill method.

My feedback is it is slow.

 

Old behavior is after logging in the drop down logins appear immediately in the form so I can select them.

With the new experience after logging in I have to wait 1-2 seconds for the banner to appear before I can click on it.

​@john_m 

Thank you for the feedback. Can you share the address of a website where it’s taking 1Password two seconds to suggest your login? I’d like to take a look to see if this is something that could be improved on that website.

Thank you for the question! We’ve temporarily turned off the new sign-in experience for business/teams customers while we work through a few issues and we hope to turn it back on soon.
