    You can find instructions on how to update here: How to keep 1Password up to date

Thank you! Just the option to turn it off would be amazing. For the heck of it, I wanted to see if the prefilled username would be different since I moved that 1 account to archive. Good news, it helped, bad news, it’s now an email address I use for 3 things… it’s my Proton email and I have it assigned only to my Proton mail account and 2 other accounts, and that’s it.

I’ll probably just change the 2 account to a Fastmail email. I don’t use those accounts much anyways.
