4 years agoThat's part of the most fragile workflow I found in 1Password. If you're asked to save an entry before you submit the web form, a password might be saved that is refused by the website if you actually submit. So 1Password will save a password that's not actually valid for the web service.
This is especially bad, if you don't login but do a password change. And even worse if it's a 1st login to a new account and you're required to change the password unconditionally and the website asks the current password over and over again until you finally choose one that is accepted according to the password policy. You know, some sites have weird password policy where you need multiple tries to get a password accepted. In these cases, the valid password is long overwritten by several tries for a new password and you need to grab it from deep within the password history every time. It's not happening often, but I encountered this more than only once and it made me really furious.
