Thanks for the tips on a workaround to temporarily disable 1Password.
You asked for other examples. One is shown in the attached screenshot1. This is not exactly the same situation, because this example includes a conflict with my browser's autocomplete whereas the original example did not. However I'm sharing it in the interest of highlighting similar undesirable behavior.
I am trying to authenticate with TheAtlantic.com using my email address. You can see that two autocomplete options are suggested by my browser. Ideally I would use the down-arrow key to select the second email address.
If I am not logged into 1Password, when I hit the down-arrow key a large 1Password pop-up asks me to authenticate.
If I am logged into 1Password, when I hit the down-arrow key one time it selects the first email address, but then when I hit the down-arrow key a second time a small pop-up appears immediately under the field and asks me if I would like to save the partially entered email address in 1Password.
As a user, my preference would be for 1Password to be less aggressive. Especially when 1Password is not logged in, I would prefer it to wait for me to ask it fill in a value, rather than proactively intercept me when I attempt to select a dropdown value suggested by a website (the example from my original post) or an autocomplete value suggested by my browser (this current example).
