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 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

I have to echo the sentiments from previous posters here. I've been using 1Password for nearly a decade now and this is the first major update that has forced me back to the previous version.
Safari is actually the one browser where we're explicitly not reaching out to the browser extension to perform fills right now,** instead relying entirely on accessibility-based filling** (when using CMD + ). This is due to some challenges we've had getting the Safari extension to quickly and reliably perform actions when requested by the desktop app. We're actively working on this issue and we hope to be able to use the Safari extension to perform fills when using CMD + \ in the future, just like every other browser.
ag_jarek Is there any update on this? This is by far the biggest pain point I have with 1Password 8 at this point. The accessibility based filling with Safari is awful, particularly when combined with the fact that it auto submits the login form.
Yes, I realize I can use
CMD + SHIFT + X, but usingCMD + \is pure muscle memory at this point. - Former Member
Ya, it's really sad and frustrating as a long time user and supporter of 1Password. 1Password used to be fast and innovative and I loved it, recommended it to others, and pushed for use at work. On the outside it is really confusing what happened to the company. Can we please get back to the "Agile" part of AgileBits? Yes, move fast, break things, take chances on new technology and patterns -- but you have to also be able to quickly fall back or react to the results of those actions.
I've downgraded everything to 1Password 7, and am looking at other options, both for my personal/family use as well as corporate use. 1Password 8's behaviors and mandates on my work just break too many things. It's super sad too, as there are some neat features in 1Password 8 (SSH AGENT!), but they just can't overcome the combination of missing features like this (just don't bloody submit for me), frequent slowness or failure to fill, and inconsistent search results.

mixture It’s also been several months and still full of bugs on Monterey and Catalina.

It's been several months and this ability to disable autosubmit still hasn't been brought back. Such a basic feature. I can't believe it. Just can't.

This is SO annoying
Please bring back a toggle for auto submit
I don't want that on many sites I use and it's making me consider dropping back to v7 at this point.
Really frustrating

Thank you @meyertee1pw and @Chris100 for the additional detail here. I can understand why this is important to you and have included your feedback in our existing project regarding auto-submit handling. We'll be happy to provide more information on this once we've got updates to share, and thank you for your patience while we work on it!

The specific issue you're mentioning should be sorted out in version 8.8.0 of 1Password for Mac. After updating 1Password for Mac, look for a Login item (or items) linked to "Google Chrome". Edit that item, and remove the link to Google Chrome. From that point on you should be set and they should no longer be filled when not matching.
That's a pretty nasty bug, because in my case I've been submitting my PayPal password (which was linked to Chrome for some reason) to dozens of sites without even noticing. Which, incidentally, is the reason the autosubmit feature should be turned off by default, or at least I should be able to turn it off. Please fix this, it's insecure!

Glad you are working on it.
This is very important to me. Once it is in there, I will update all my systems to V8.

Hi folks, thank you for your feedback on this, and I'm sorry for the frustration it has caused.
As Jack mentioned, we're currently exploring a toggle option for the auto-submit feature, and will be happy to share news on this when we have news to share.
As a matter of policy, we generally don't give timelines for release of updates / improvements / fixes / new features, because software development is a dynamic thing, and in our experience, while it can be frustrating to have to wait until something is done to share it, it's almost always the least-problematic option. We'll look forward to letting you know when there's news on this feature, and really appreciate your patience as we work to make the app even better yet.
(Also, I have added votes for everyone who wasn't already tallied - notwithstanding that we're also already working on this feature in any case. Gotta make sure all the ts are crossed. 👍)

Agree - there are some devices that use bad logic that require you to add the OTP code in the SAME field as the password (SOPHOS XG firewall) for instance. I'm not saying they should do this like this, but it is, and I need to stop the auto submit or turn it OFF for select few items. Please...?
