    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.

Hello folks,

Thank you to everyone for the continued feedback regarding 1Password automatically filling your email address in the username field for faster item creation. In the most recent beta version, I'm happy to share that we're testing a new setting to allow users to turn off automatic username filling if they wish:


UPDATE May 15th, 2025: The feature is now available in the beta version (8.10.78) of 1Password. Once testing is complete in the beta, the team hopes to release the feature to the stable version as well: Use 1Password beta releases

-Dave

Thanks, Dave. I'll be very happy when this hits Production!

As mentioned by so many others, this "feature" is annoying and actually slows things down...
