4 years agoHow do I disable form autosubmit?
In 1Password 8 when I fill a login in Safari, it automatically submits the login. I would like 1Password to fill out the fields but not hit the submit button.
In earlier versions of 1Password, I w...

4 years ago1Password 8 will happily auto fill the wrong credentials on subdomains. Which “may” not be a security issue but it sure is annoying. On Wordpress sites auto submit occurs with empty 2FA fields. 1P_PeterG , can you guarantee that 1Password will NEVER accidentally put login information into the wrong fields?
Mostly annoying though is that you are dictating how 1Password works for individual users. You had settings that allowed each user to choose what to do, and you have chosen to remove that choice for users. Pretty I am not alone on this. Sadly 1Password team seems to be sitting on their laurels now that they have market share. This is disappointing, as gone are the days when you listen to your users. 😕
Looking at your own blog, let’s focus on the auto submit portion:
Sometimes a website doesn’t behave as 1Password might expect, resulting in passwords being filled sub-optimally, or fields being left blank. If 1Password were to automatically submit forms in these cases, users are left with an experience that we don’t feel reflects how we want 1Password to work and can lead to confusion.
This hasn’t changed, it is still the case, why has your team deemed your own sales pitch, and this valid issue, now invalid?
1P_PeterG since you are appearing to deflect by comparing auto fill with auto submit, let me quote the article:
If you are using a password manager that doesn’t allow you to turn that feature off, switch password managers.
This to me, and I suspect to all your users, could apply to auto submit as well.
Any developer worth his salt, knows when to say “we screwed up.” Maybe time for your team to consider this? Forcing auto submit is only one small issue with 1Password 8.
Don’t get me wrong, which is probably easy to do with my rant style here, I do think 1Password could one day be great again. But you need to take a step back and consider that just maybe, some of your decisions are wrong. You are not too big to fail.
Good luck!
