Auto Fill of URL Not Working
I have a strange problem when using the 1Password app on Windows 10 to "Open and fill" a Login entry. The resulting URL has a string of letters and numbers appended to the URL resulting in a failed l...
Hi CraigThebiker! The behavior you're describing is indeed specific to "open and fill" from the 1Password for Windows app. We append those characters as instructions to the extension, essentially saying "when this page loads, fill this entry's credentials". Please note that these characters do not contain any user data so your information is completely safe.
That said, there are sites that do not work well with these extra characters in the URL. The best suggestion we have at the moment is to open your browser and navigate to those sites manually. Then you can use the extension to fill on that page (as opposed to using open and fill from the desktop app).
I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, but I do hope this clarifies what's going on. Let us know if you have any other questions.
