Can I disable password suggestions?
When I'm registering on a new site, and I'm prompted for a password, is there a way to stop 1Password from suggesting one?
I'm sorry for the delay in replying. There isn't a way to turn off password suggestions without also turning off suggestions of existing login credentials. Once you start typing, you'll see the "Save in 1Password" option appear in the menu if you'd like to enter and save your own created password:
That being said, while I can't make any promises, I've shared your request for an option to turn off suggested passwords in the inline menu with our product team for future consideration.-Dave

ModeratorHello Ward! 👋
Thank you for reaching out! Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to turn off password suggestions? Using 1Password to generate strong and unique passwords for all of your accounts is core functionality so I'm curious to hear if you're generating passwords some other way or if the password suggestions are getting in the way.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dave,
5 days ago I wrote: "When I'm prompted to create & confirm a new password, I prefer to use my own scheme for creating strong passwords. I never use the passwords suggested by the 1Password pop-ups. That's why I'd like to block the pop-ups."
Since then, the discussion in this topic has focused on DieselOx's concerns.
I'm still seeking a way to disable 1Password's offering to create a random, strong password.

Sorry to piggy back, but I would also like to know how to disable suggestions, because they pop up first in the list on a website I actually have a pw saved in 1password.
This is in Chrome, using the chrome extension. I can only choose from the suggestion inside the pw field. Instead, 1pw should choose the correct saved pw. I have to go to the pinned button, choose the other pw, and then hit autofill.
Turning off "suggest new pw" would solve this. (Also, I like to create my own passphrases that I can remember when I'm not at work, I know how to create a secure password I can remember. I'm not a child).
I've gone through all help channels, tutorials and instructions, and the choice "Fill anywhere on this website" is broken, not working.
