3 years agoselecting "open and fill" adds extra text to end of URL when web page opens.
Using 1Password 8.9.13. I select "Open and Fill" on a website URL in a 1Password Login Item. When the web page opens up in MS Edge, there is extra random text at the end of the URL. On some web sites this is causing problems. Is the extra text coming from cookies? Is there a way to turn off the extra text and have the exact URL be entered into the web page?
1Password Version: 8.9.13
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Browser:_ Edge

Thanks for the browser extension suggestion. That worked! The website opened properly and filled in the login data using the open & fill option.

Hi @BEcrystal, thanks for reaching out! The extra text added at the end of a URL when using
Open & Fillis a reference from the 1Password desktop app, which tells the browser extension which credentials to fill into the page.As you've mentioned that
Open & Fillhas never successfully filled in fields for you, is there any chance that you don't currently have 1Password for Edge installed? If you don't, I would recommend installing this and testing whetherOpen & Fillthen works as intended:Let us know how you get on!

Issue solved, I just had to click on the down arrow and select "Open" instead of "Open and fill". The URL populates without additional characters at the end of the URL. The "Open and Fill" option never seemed to actually fill in the fields for me..
