Chrome extension + textarea shows stored logins on arrow keys

With the 1password chrome extension it's not possible to navigate up/down in textareas with the arrow-keys up/down on the keyboard if there's a stored password for this domain.

Whenever one hits up or down key, the extension displays the login. If one hit's escape, the overlay with the login goes away, but the up/down arrow keys just put it back on.

Example: github.com pull request template. When one edits the template (with sometimes lots of text in it) you can not go lines up or down which is really a showstopper for using the extension (see screenshot attached).

Is it possible to remove the overlay for textareas and / or make it configurable?

Thank you,
regards
Sascha

    Hey @sfpass, I had misread your original post. 1Password should definitely not appear in the comment box from your screenshot. The strange thing is that I'm unable to re-create the behavior from your screenshot: https://share.cleanshot.com/nzWI6A. Could you go into more specifics about the steps you're taking to get to the textarea with the suggestion?

    OK sure a solution is to essentially disable the addon, but...like... why is 1password doing this for textarea?

    I think the proper fix is for the extension to avoid "attaching" to textareas, and for the 1 in 1 million sites that use textarea for a login, well, they are SOL and need to click the button.

    That makes a lot more sense to me instead of ruining the product experience for all of your users who use github and other sites with textareas...

    Hi @saschahepp, you can remove the 1Password icon and inline menu from your login fields by doing the following:

    1. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and select Settings.
    2. Scroll down to Autofill.
    3. Turn off "offer to fill and save passwords" and "show autofill menu on field focus".
    4. If you do not want SSO suggestions, you can turn off the other two options in that section as well.

    After that, you would be able to use the up and down arrow keys without any interference.

    To fill your logins, you would have to do the following:

    1. Click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, select a login, and select Autofill.
    2. Use Universal Autofill via a keyboard shortcut to fill: https://support.1password.com/mac-universal-autofill/

    I hope that helps!
