Change autofill icon location to not obscure "show password" button in Microsoft Edge
Many password fields now use an eye icon which, when selected, shows the password a user is typing. This is especially useful when creating new passwords.
While I use 1Password to create passwords for over 99% of my accounts, there are a handful which I create manually for usability reasons (typically: my laptops' passwords which I have to type because they lock constantly, and my employer still doesn't support Windows Hello.)
The 1Password auto-complete/password-suggest icon obscures the eye icon, which makes it impossible for the user to see the password they are typing.
I'm not a UI designer, and I'm sure there are better solutions, but even just shifting it to the left by it's own width would probably work.

Microsoft Entra ID's default password change page has this issue. In the screenshot below, there's an icon of an eye hidden beneath the 1Password icon. If you select that eye, it shows the password characters. The user can't select that icon, though, because the 1Password icon is on top of it.
This URL won't work unless you're logged in to a Microsoft corporate account, but here's the URL in case it's helpful: https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info/password/change

I'm sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you for the screenshot and for providing that example, I can definitely understand how having 1Password's icon overlap a website's reveal icon can be disruptive and I've reported this to our team internally. They'll look into possible solutions for the future.

Hello USMA56795! 👋
Thank you for the feedback! I can certainly pass this along to the team since I can see that this is a use case that could be better handled. Are you able to tell me the website addresses of the sites where you've run into the issue? I can include that in the feature request that I'll file with the team.
For the time being, you can hide 1Password on the page in question by right-clicking on the page and clicking 1Password - Password Manager > Hide on this page.
