How to disable automatic spell checking?
My language is not supported and I have a lot of texts red-underlined from the spell-checker. I don't want it. How can I turn it off?

It appears in any text field, underlining many words. I attach two screenshots as an example. Thanks

Welcome to 1Password! I would be happy to pass along your feedback to the team. Can you tell me where you're seeing the spellcheck affect the experience for you? Is it when using arbitrary usernames like some have reported above? Or when using words in another language?

Same issue here, I am in the trial period. Not having the option to disable the spell checker is affecting the quality of life of UI. It could be a deal breaker for me. Besides, I can see it has been requested multiple times with no effect...uhm.

Usernames that are completely arbitrary in their structure e.g. lx42we2JsW

Thank you for the feedback, can you tell me a little more about the kinds of words that are being underlined? Knowing more about how the issue is manifesting on your Mac will help our product and development teams better understand the need for the change and find the correct solution.

Please... I can only second that. I have tons of red-underlined text and this is not a question of language. One really needs to be able to switch spell-checking off.

I'm afraid that I'm not aware of such a hidden setting. I'm sorry that you're seeing a lot of underlined text from the spellchecker, can you tell me if you're storing information in a different language in 1Password? I'd like to pass along your feedback and experience to our product team.

Everything is full of red squiggly lines, which is just visual clutter and keeps distracting me from the actual user interface.
Can you let us know whether thereβs an undocumented setting for this, for example by manually adding a property in${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/1Password/settings/settings.json
