2 years agoHello Welaxxx, thank you for writing in! Welcome to 1Password, I really appreciate the kind words!
Former Member, thank you so much for providing an answer before I could jump in.
A lot of folks have been asking for this feature request and the team has discussed this internally in great detail to see if it can be implemented in a safe way. Due to security concerns, the team has decided against adding a feature that would automatically fill login credentials into a webpage without a user’s direct interaction and consent.
Automatically filling a web form with no user interaction other than visiting the page can lead to an attack where your usernames and passwords are submitted to a malicious website in a way that is silent and not clearly visible to a user. Attacks against password managers that automatically fill logins without user interaction have been documented by security researchers and 1Password has a responsibility to protect all users from these attacks.
I hope that explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
