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.

Hello 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,

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.
