New item login field already populated
Hi, When I create a new item in the Linux, Android and iOS 1Password apps, the login field is already populated with an email address and focus is set on the password field. How to change that? I w...
Hello everyone,
I'm happy to share that, with the latest update to the stable version of 1Password (8.10.78), our team has added a setting to turn off the prefilling of usernames when creating new items in the app:
You can find instructions on how to update here: How to keep 1Password up to date
Thanks again for all of the feedback and for always helping us make 1Password more useful for your needs and your workflows.

ModeratorHello Spacehog! 👋
Thank you for reaching out. When you create a new Login item, 1Password will now automatically fill your email address in the username field and generate a password. Username suggestions are based on the vault that you’re creating a new item in and are suggested based on frequency of previous use in that vault.
You can read more about this new feature on our blog under "Better item creation and navigation - New item creation flow": 1Password product enhancements [Winter edition]: Mobile improvements, better item creation, and even more security features
The current expected behaviour is for 1Password to automatically generate a password and fill it into the password field when you create a new item.

Yeah, I don't want it to auto fill email (I use simplelogin) or auto generate a password either. I'm so tired of all these hand holdy changes to try and capture more of the "general public" market. These changes to make things "easier" are only for brand new users who've been under a rock the last 10 years and can't figure out a password manager. (Are you a new user!??!?!! Here's a checklist of things to do because you're new!!!! Need more help!??!?! Can't figure out how to type!?!??! Let me do it for you!!! xddd)
At least add a freaking toggle for all of these regressions.
Stop trying to do stuff for me, 1Password has been turning into more of a nuisance lately than a help. 99% of the time I have to undo what you just did and then do it myself anyway. What's the point of even being alive if we automate literally everything. Saving us time so we can go to the next tool and have it save us time and so on just to be even more tired at the end of the day??
I get it, 1Password wants to make more money, but STOP destroying the UX of your current users to try and capture potential users.
