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

Still waiting. As a paying 1Password Family customer (and one who has used 1Password for over a decade), this very much sucks that it takes so long to implement such a BASIC FEATURE.

+1 for adding an option to disable auto-submit. This is a key feature I look for out of a password manager and it's been a frustrating omission in my use of 1P 8.
Thank you for the consideration.

I remember there was a 1Password blog post about how auto-submit was not a good idea and therefore would not be used. I think it was around the time 7 was released. Some people complained but I thought it made sense.
And now, here we are, a few years later and the same company has made a U-turn about this, pushed it out without an option to disable it, and like many others have said, it causes problems in several websites. I also don't understand why it has to appear as being typed, I think is some accessibility feature that needs to be used for the plugin to work.
Version 8 is such an odd mix of compromises, new features and old ones being removed, that I went back to versión 7, which I've never done since my first license was purchased way back in 2009. Fortunately, I haven't updated on my iOS devices, and I don't plan to for a long time.

I would like to add my voice to the feature request to DISABLE auto-submit. It causes big problems with sites with CAPTCHAs and hardware keys. It makes 1P8 worse than 1P7/6 and makes the autofill feature useless with many sites.
HAHAHAHAHA. auto-submit just prevented me from registering on this support site by auto-submitting before I ticked the "I agree" checkbox.
Please fix this glaring omission to the product. (Apple keychain beckons.)

I just discovered that 1Password 8 auto-submits with no way to disable it while I was logged into my webhost's admin panel and I was trying to set the FTP user and database passwords for a newly hosted domain. v8 kept auto-submitting the password I use to log into my webhost's site and never giving me a chance to enter the specific passwords that I wanted to use for my OWN domain. I had to completely disable the v8 Chrome browser extension altogether before I was able to input the actual passwords that I wanted to use. Please, please, PLEASE give us a way to disable auto-submit in v8!

Thanks! I did that, and then decided to just go ahead and reinstall 7 which is making me feel so much better. No autofill, autosubmit, and everything is back in alphabetical order. Whew.

@aceeare You can turn off the Safari prompts in the browser extension settings. Right-click on the toolbar icon to access settings (these are separate from the Mac app’s settings). Try turning off Autofill > Show autofill menu on field focus. You’ll still see the 1P icon in form fields, but you’ll have to click it to display the list of available logins. Much less whack-a-mole this way. 🙂

While autosubmit is horrible, I'd also love to be able to disable autofill and get ride of the 1Password icon everywhere I'm trying to fill in my address, phone, etc. Safari does a nice job of autofill for these things, but the new 1Password v8 is completely taking over all of it. I've been with 1Password since the beginning, and don't want to start over somewhere else, but I may have to. The autofill is making me crazy.

+1, the "remember me" behavior is very annoying. Not only does it not let me check it, sometimes it un-checks it even on sites where it's initially visible if I've explicitly checked the checkbox beforehand!! I can't find any way to edit hidden form fields in the UI, either.
