1P and Form Autofill Suggestions Overlapping
Minor workflow annoyance, but it's actually two "issues" that I seem to have frequently. The first is that the "extension button" or "autofill button" (not sure what it's called-- the 1password but...

ModeratorThanks for the reply. You can find that documented here: Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser
The article states that "Make 1Password the default password manager in this browser" should be turned on in 1Password's settings. When this option is on, 1Password will automatically turn off Chrome's built-in filling features, including "Save and fill addresses", and prevent you from turning Chrome's "Save and fill addresses" back on unless you turn off "Make 1Password the default password manager in this browser".

Man, you really stuck it to me on that one. Nice, lol.
The article doesn't say any of that stuff that you added outside of your quote. It does make mention of an autofill setting, but only in relation to Firefox. And I do already have that option turned on to make 1password the default.
Look, if you wanna tell me that the product is working as intended and to go pound sand, fine. If it were me and me company, I'd be interested in trying to make my product work better and not to tell people to disable default browser behavior to make it work properly.

I'm sorry that I don't have a better answer to provide at the moment. That being said, I'm happy to pass along your feedback to the team. You mentioned that you'd prefer that 1Password suppressed those suggestions from Chrome or rendered on top of the Chrome suggestion, I'm not sure if Chrome grants browser extensions (like 1Password) the ability to suppress Chrome's suggestions or render things on top of them that but I've passed along your feedback to the team so that they can investigate this further in the future.
For the time being, here are a few options:
- You can hover over a Chrome suggestion and click the X next to it (see screenshot below) to dismiss it from being suggested in the future. If the X doesn't appear then you can highlight the suggestion and press Shift + Delete on your keyboard.
- If you don't want to remove any of Chrome's suggestions, you can continue to press Esc on your keyboard to dismiss the Chrome prompt.
- You can fill your login information using 1Password's Auto-Type feature, instead of the browser extension, when 1Password's suggestion menu is covered up: Use Auto-Type in apps and browsers on your Windows PC
If you have any other suggestions on how this can be improved then please let me know and I'll add that to the feedback that I've filed with the team. Thanks for sharing how we can make 1Password better for your use.-Dave
I appreciate that reply. "passed along your feedback to the team so that they can investigate this further in the future" is all I was really looking for if it wasn't a known issue / workaround. As for suggestions, I am not a Chrome extension developer, but one simple solution would be to apply autocomplete="off" after page load to any form fields that 1password would trigger upon. That would allow the browser to continue with normal functionality while preventing it from conflicting with login/password fields. I tried this by manually inspecting a page and adding that attribute... the suggestion that was overlaying 1P is gone.
