Curious about how creating/changing a password works in 1password (previously) X

That would be great, we'd love to investigate pages where the save prompt doesn't show up after using a suggested password :+1:

Hello again,
on your test page, it worked like a charm !
I guess I'll take note of the pages where it doesn't... :)

Go to this website: https://fill.dev/form/registration-email

When you click inside the password or confirm password fields, does 1Password suggest a new strong password? When you click on the suggested password, does 1Password not show the save/update prompt?

Just an addendum, from what I noticed when using 1ppassword in the browser in general. The update login windows usually appear if I log in to a website with a new password for an existing entry, but almost never when I use the "change password" page.

Thanks tetardbleu .
I hope you won't encounter such webpages again, but if you do, we'll be happy to help and investigate as needed :)

Hi,

and ask you if you'd like to save/update this password. Update the existing login item with the new password.
that's the ting, this time, the update login window didn't appear.
If PayPal bothers me again with this, I'll send you the structure of the page.

Thanks for the additional info tetardbleu .

If you encounter such issue again, here's what to do:

1. Click the "New Password" field so that 1Password will suggest a new strong password.
2. Select the suggested password. 1Password will autofill it into the field and ask you if you'd like to save/update this password. Update the existing login item with the new password.
3. In the "Confirm new password" field, if 1Password did not autofill it already and is suggesting a brand new different password, simply open your 1Password app/extension, locate the login entry for this website and copy the password from it, then paste it into the "Confirm password field".

The logic here is that the password in the login item was already updated in step 2, so it contains the exact same password that the "New Password" field contains. Pasting it into the "Confirm new password" field will work in that case.

Also, if you encounter such issues on websites, you can capture the page's structure and send it to us so we can investigate better. Simply right click the 1Password extension's icon on the top right corner of your browser and select "Help" -> "Collect Page Structure".
That way we'll be able to "See" the how the page and the fields in it are built and have a better idea of what goes wrong and how to fix it if needed. :)

Hi,

Good catch ! To be precise, the page where I had to change my password appeared just after my login to their website. In other words, PayPal forced my hand with a special page that I couldn't ignore because they detected "suspicious activities" (me with a VPN, probably... :) ) so that's likely not the exact same page that the usual one… but it was the PayPal website anyway for the record.

Hello tetardbleu,

I am sorry for the inconvenience. To ensure that we are on the same page, please let me know if this issue occurs when you change your password from the main PayPal website or when you make a payment from another website such as eBay and Paypal requests you to change password from there?

Changing passwords from paypal.com should work correctly. However, when we have to change the password when making a payment transaction on a third-party website, that could make a difference.

Hi Ana,

For confirmation: did you have to click on the password suggestion once or twice? In other words, did 1Password fill both password fields for you at the same time, or did it just offer you two different suggestions?

Chrome, the first try, offered me 2 different suggestions. I had to click twice.

With safari, when I retried out of curiosity, one click filled both fields at the same time with the same password, but I know that the safari extension is not independent, so it doesn't work the same way that the "in the browser" one.
