    Thanks again for all of the feedback and for always helping us make 1Password more useful for your needs and your workflows.

Yeah I have this problem as well and having it act like this to put it bluntly is garbage.

I'm at the point where I've all but removed the old email from all of my logins, and it is STILL autofilling the old email, I'm at the point of moving things where I'm considering deleting said old email so having it come up as a "suggestion" will be completely useless in the next few months.

This should be optional as with other features, and forcing something like this on 1pass users is preeeeetty annoying especially when I'm essentially "breaking up" with that email only to be "reminded about it" every time I use my password manager.
