Request: Turn off username guessing in the apps [RESOLVED]

Hello, Dave. This feature doesn't seem to be working for me. I have it unchecked, but still get prompts/popovers that suggest unrelated email addresses at logins. I don't want unrelated email suggestions because this leads to mistakes.
For instance, I don't use my 1password account email to login anywhere anymore, but it's suggested with every login. How can I make this stop?
I'm using 1Password for Mac 8.11.14 and Brave Browser Brave 1.83.118 (Official Build)
Happy camper here!
That's great, thanks Dave
