In all online boxes that ask for passwords, I see the 1P symbol but with a PADLOCK symbol. WTF?

I have returned to 1P (despite its maddening "subscription" charges), and I must say it's improved greatly since v. 6. HOWEVER, a necessary benefit is for it to fill in PASSWORD BOXES for places I'm...

Hey @mennska:

Just as a reminder, the Support Community is public, and as such I've removed some of your personal information from your post.

When you're seeing the 1Password icon in your browser with a padlock over it, that indicates that 1Password is locked. If you click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, you should be prompted to unlock 1Password. Let me know how you get on with that!

While I'm at it, why can't I use Typinator to fill in things within my password entries? For example, my email for this support community is [removed] .... but anywhere else (including DashLane), I could type in my shortcut "dadz" and it would autocomplete. This is a maddening bug!

This kind of functionality is enabled by programs reading what you type. To protect your privacy, the 1Password app applies a flag to text fields when editing an item that indicates to other programs that they are not allowed to intercept or modify any of the information being typed in.
