Default for Sign In Automatically after Autofill
I may not be a "typical" user, as I am continually looking at new browsers and computer for my personal and professional life. I use 1Password extensively in my personal and professional life. I have...

This one is really starting to annoy me. The post-auto-fill auto-submit feature was a terrible idea back in 2017 or whatever year it was when you guys first pulled it because of its security and privacy issues, and it's still a terrible idea today when you guys have added it back in and push it even though nothing has changed with the security and privacy issues.
That said, I don't even care that much that you foist it on new users who don't know any better and are likely happy with it. I recognize it's probably just one of those cases where the customer demand-driven product team won out over the security and engineering teams. As a technology leader, I get it. Fine.
But, please, please, please stop trying to foist it on me. I have it turned off in all eight places in which the stupid feature must be turned off for my main browser (in the main app/Quick Access, and in the seven browser profiles I have). I live with it in my secondary browsers because I don't want to have to navigate to and toggle it — literally — dozens of times (assuming multiple profiles in each of the browsers).
The problem? You guys keep turning it on again. I don't know if it's a bug in an install script or the result of a very misguided decision, but every few months, a new release toggles it back on. And one of the most recent releases did it again. Hear me: I don't want auto-submit turned on, ever. Every time you guys turn that back on, it exposes me to security and privacy risks that I don't want, and it means I have to spend yet more time going around turning it off like an overzealous parent chasing their kid around the house turning off lights. I've done it so many times that it's won the #1 spot on the list of "features" in my decades of software history that makes my blood boil the most.
Please, stop already. I'm not going to change my mind about this misguided feature.
