How 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 was able to do that but I can’t find the equivalent setting in 1Password 8.
Note: I’m using the Cmd-\ quick access panel to fill in passwords.
1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

Yet another vote to disable autosubmit.

It makes you wonder how 1Password 8 got through testing, as these are all standard use cases. Combined with the other unpredictable or uncontrolable behaviours, unintended insertion of sensitive data is too easy. I have reverted to version 7.

Adding a vote to disable autosubmit, since it breaks any login form that has a captcha.

Came here exactly the same reason. I have the auto submit disabled before, and found now v8 auto submitting the form for me, and being blocked by the website because I haven't fill in the catcha......

Add my vote for this as well, I prefer to submit myself and just have 1Password do the filling.

I’ll also add another case: Sometimes autofill will also detect and fill the email address field in the footer of a webpage. Autosubmitting signs you up for their newsletter (spam).

It's one click of a button vs complete loss of control. This should be an easy decision for the developers.
Another case: For some infrequently-used sites on which both I and my wife have accounts I enter "johnsmith marysmith" in the username, and erase one of them before hitting submit.

Right... my vote is also for disabling autosubmit :)

1P_PeterG, thank you. You mentioned
disable autofill. As the OP I just want to be clear that what I’m asking for (and as far as I can tell what the others are asking for) is to disable the feature to automatically submit the form. I still want it to fill the fields when I hitCmd-\.I’ve got some more use cases too:
- (From @polyrumors message above) Some sites have CAPTCHAs that fail if autosubmit is used.
 - I might want to click “remember this device” on the page where you enter your 2-Factor code. With auto-submit 1Password doesn’t even pause for a moment on the 2-Factor sign-in page for some sites, it just fills it in and hits submit. (Example: Github)
 - Some sites require you to re-enter your password before completing a security-sensitive task, and there are usually other input elements that need to be filled in before hitting submit. (Example: FastMail)
 - Sometimes I want to see what fills in before I hit submit. For example, if our shared Family folder has a login I may or may not want to use that.
