Chrome Autofill

I rely heavily on Chrome to autofill items such as prior URLs, Names, dates...

I am not talking about its password manager; I do not use that.

If I turn on 1Password, it shuts off Chrome's Autofill.

Is there a way around that?

Thank you

    Thanks, it seems to be a recent Chrome update.  I was using NordPass and couldn't get past it. Now I tried 1Password and have the same issue.

    In Chrome, they changed it so that if you use a password manager other than theirs, you cannot use Chrome's autofill features.  Again, not Chrome's password tool, just the autofill option.

    I use Firefox now.

    Thank you

    Hi SquareWheels​,

    Could you try following the steps below, and let me know whether this helps?

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click the 1Password icon in Chrome's toolbar and select "Settings".
    3. In the General section, turn off "Make 1Password the default password manager in this browser".
    4. Paste chrome://settings/autofill into your browser address bar, and adjust the settings to choose what Chrome will be able to fill for you.

    Since you don't want to use Chrome's built-in password manager, I would also suggest navigating to the Chrome password manager settings at chrome://password-manager/settings and making sure it's disabled to prevent any interference with 1Password.

    Let me know how this goes!
