Disable autocomplete on an input, when 1password chrome extension shows suggestions

Hey carpii, thanks for getting back to us. On behalf of Dave, you're welcome, I'm glad to hear that the issue is no longer happening. If it does happen up again, let us know. We're happy to help. 🙂

Hi Dave,

The short answer is, I'm not sure.

I was using VMWare as my test case (first screenshot I posted in this thread)
But I've since upgraded VMWare and they redesigned the UI which no longer has this issue

I also disabled chrome addresses as you suggest. Maybe that was the solution after all (even though the entries popping up were not address related, just random textbox input history)

I think it might be resolved as I havent noticed it on other sites since

Ill post here if it crops up again.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify: are you still seeing suggestions from Chrome after removing the addresses and turning "Save and fill addresses" off? If you are then can you post a new screenshot of what you're seeing on your device?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi 1P_Dave

Thanks for the suggestion.

I did still have Addresses being auto-filled by Chrome, which Ive now disabled and migrated to 1pass.

It's not clear whether this is the cause of it though...
The conflicting entries overlapping 1Pass were unrelated to any of the fields stored in Chromes Addresses, they were just previous form inputs (things like search terms etc)

It appears Chrome provides no way to disable these form entries, other than deleting them regularly from "Clear Cache -> Advanced -> AutoFill Forms" (or if a sites markup prohibits it using autocomplete="off")

I'll do a bit more testing

Cheers

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding the situation. The URL that I provided should take you to Chrome's address autocompletion screen which contain items that will be suggested in fields like an email field:

• chrome://settings/addresses

Just to clarify: if you turn "Save and fill addresses" off in Chrome and move all of the items under "Addresses" into 1Password before removing them from Chrome, do you still see conflicting suggestions from Chrome?

Hi Dave,

Appreciate the reply, but I feel like you are not understanding the issue fully

Please see the first screenshot I posted at the top of the thread (the VMWare login).

This is not chromes password manager conflicting with 1Password, it is chromes form auto-completion overlapping 1Password password suggestions.

Granted, chromes password manager does it also, but I have already disabled Chrome from saving passwords, and I only have a few passwords left in Chromes store

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. My recommendation is that you turn off "Save and fill addresses" in Chrome and move all of your addresses to 1Password before removing them from Chrome. Chrome's page for configuring addresses is here:

• chrome://settings/addresses

The issue is occurring because you're using two different products that are doing the same thing: storing your addresses/identities and suggesting them where appropriate.

1Password's Identity is not a replacement for Chrome's auto suggestions. For things like addresses, email adressess, etc using Chrome's suggestions is easier and faster.

Can you tell me a little more about why you find Chrome's suggestions easier to use? I'd be happy to pass along your feedback to the team. 🙂

Hi, is there any update on this issue? Its getting really bad now

If you need any further info, Im happy to provide it

Thanks

If there are particular websites or circumstances where this isn't working as expected for
you, let me know and we'll be happy to troubleshoot!

I think I found the perfect example..
Even the 1Password website does it, when logging in

---

Its showing Chrome form autocomplete suggestions, which overlap 1Password's login suggestions..

---

As you can see below, Chromes password manager is completely disabled..

---

And despite being disabled, my 1Password credentials are not stored in Chrome anyway...

This same issue is affecting me. Not Chrome passwords, but chrome's suggestions for the field are blocking the view of 1Password's suggestions. This is a poor experience.

I'm not sure I understand the comments above. andrew_l_1P Are you saying the only remedy is to turn off Chrome's suggestions?

1Password's Identity is not a replacement for Chrome's auto suggestions. For things like addresses, email adressess, etc using Chrome's suggestions is easier and faster. The remedy suggested by carpii seems perfect.

I'm surprised this issue was not seen in testing. What was the response when this was shared with the team?
