Please, please, could you separate these options?
I would like to reiterate alexgreyhead’s suggestion in https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/chrome-extension-resetting-autofill-settings-to-full-annoyance-mode---every-day-/32711
that the options to fill and save passwords be separate, but for the reason opposite to the one he/she gave. Alex “would prefer just to be able to tick "Offer to save passwords" and leave the rest to him/her to do manually.” I, on the other hand, would like 1Password to offer to fill passwords and leave the saving of updates to me. The reason why, in a nutshell:
I’m a QA tester for a suite of software applications. For one of these applications, I have over 75 accounts across my company’s more than half a dozen environments. I have to reset the passwords for all 75+ every three months. For some reason, 1Password lumps all of my accounts from Environments A and B (67 total accounts) together whenever it offers them for selection on login or when changing a password. Many of the accounts in Environment B mirror those in Environment A, so my usernames between the two are very similar. (It also lumps my accounts for Environments C and D together, but there isn’t as much similarity in the usernames across those two environments.) So, if I choose to make use of the option to update an existing password—which is given five times during the password update process for each account—for an Environment A or B account, I have to be VERY careful to choose the right one. If I accidentally save a password to the wrong account in 1Password, I have to go through an even lengthier and more painful process that makes me kind of grouchy to even think about, to fix the situation. This is why I prefer to update each password directly in 1Password. In addition, three out of the five times the option is given to save a new password, the dropdown/modal covers up the control that I want to use next. So I have to either move my left hand from the Ctrl+C/V position to press the Tab key, or perform an extra mouse click, more than 225 times during this already tedious process, when I’m just trying to get all these accounts updated as efficiently as possible.
Could you help a girl out?

Hi goldfinchgirl, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
I have a couple of suggestions that might make this process less painful:
- Disable "Offer to save logins" under Settings > Autofill & save > Autosave.
- If each environment has a distinct hostname, you can set each login item to only suggest itself on that specific host. To do this, open the item in edit mode, click the autofill behaviour option right of the website field, and select "Only fill on this exact host". This may cut down the number of accounts shown when you're logging in to any given environment.
If these settings don't improve the situation for you, let me know, and I'll be happy to pass along your feedback to the team.
