How delay starting auto-fill on some websites?
Some websites such as https://www.bankofamerica.com/ ERASE the password field about 2 seconds after the page loads. 1Password is filling the field and then it gets erased (when using Open & Fill). ...

2 years agoMy best thought is this is intended to prevent filling from password managers. They seem to prefer direct entry. Somewhere in their security testing they likely determined this was a security concern to their site. Most banks even have stipulations in their ream of paperwork you agree to about password managers. You might consider asking them about password managers if you're so inclined. An open letter to banks - may also be helpful I have heard of some banks becoming overly concerned if you even mention/hint you use a password manager.
Generally speaking, I've always had good security from my bank, and I trust them to keep my $ safe. If I have to work around something, I often go that route. It's often a minor inconvenience, in my own opinion. I'll admit that some of my earlier banks prohibited password managers in their terms. I'm now with one that at least never expressly mentioned it, to my knowledge. I could be wrong, but I do not need to wake the sleeping bear. :)
tl;dr I'd like to see if there is something we can improve on here. I've filed an enhancement request before the team. In the time being I'd suggest visiting the site directly and then filling. Which will hopefully stop this behavior and allow you to continue accessing your financials.
