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

+1. I would also like the option to globally disable autosubmit.

+1 for me as well on the autosubmit issue making 1Password 8 unusable. I had to uninstall it and downgrade to 1Password 7 until this gets sorted out.

Yet another use-case where this is killing me: keychain access prompts -- those dialogs where the OS says some app wants to use a keychain item, and after filling in the password, you have the option to Allow or Always Allow, with the default being the latter. If I use 1P's universal fill to fill these, it auto-submits on the Always Allow. This means I'll get prompted again the next time the app needs it, which could be immediately, or next time I launch, or whenever. For my trusted apps, I simply want to hit Always Allow and be done with it, but auto-submit effectively kills that option.

+1 autosubmit is making 1password 8 nearly unusable for me, for all the reasons folks have mentioned.

Hey @deeogo / BobW / @mattmaker:
Thanks for your feedback on auto-submit. While I can't promise anything, I'll share your thoughts with the team.
In the meantime, if there's fields you need to edit after the fact (a second portion of the password for example), using the inline menu or the 1Password pop-up to autofill would be your best bet. Let me know how you get on with that!

Another +1 for disabling autosubmit, globally across all passwords.
I won't be updating me or my family members to version 8 before this is possible.
I can't believe what I'm seeing, no explanation will suffice why this is not possible anymore in 8.
I will give it a few weeks before starting to look at other options for a password manager, but seeing how big 1Password has become, I fear we're not getting the feature back in years if ever... The personal touch and attention to detail we had with 1Password 10 years ago is long gone.

+1 on being able to disable auto-submit. Went to sign into my lululemon account (on the UK site) and instead of logging me in it filled out the "sign up for our mailing list" box below the login form and submitted that. I note the US site doesn't have that same box in case you try it. It's basically useless if I can't trust it to fill out my details into the right place - will have to stick to 1Password 7 until then.

Count me in as one more user who wants a way to disable auto-submit.
I often hit Cmd+Backslash before realizing that I left a "remember me" checkbox unchecked.

Agree 100% with Gilles. The intent isn't to dictate how a user should use the app, but give them the option to use it how that want, within limits of course. Some users will want to use auto-submit which is fine. Freedom of choice and all that jazz. Which makes me think, could each login have an over ride. For example, if I set auto-submit to false globally, there might be some sites that auto-submit would be preferable on. Could I then enable auto-submit on those specific domains. Or perhaps the other way, global auto-submit is true and then opt out of auto-submit on a few troublesome sites?
I did just discover that using Firefox resolves many of these issues. Safari and 1Password appear to be the big issue here, where firefox doesn't have auto-submit, and 2FA works on sites that won't work in Safari. Hmm.
