Some passwords do not autofill

I am just getting started here, so...

Sometimes I select one off the items in my list and it gets to the site fine, but dos not autofill, but rather waits for me to do it.

Also, can it be set to autofill and then login automatically?

  • Hello OLMan! πŸ‘‹

    Welcome to 1Password! I'm sorry that you're running into some issues with filling. Just so that I'm understanding the situation correctly: are you clicking on "Open and Fill" after hovering over a website address in 1Password? If you are then are you clicking "Open and Fill" from the desktop app or from 1Password in the browser?

    Does filling sometimes happen automatically after you click "Open and Fill"? Is it does then can you share one of the websites where it isn't working? Don't share your username or password, just the website address.

    I look forward to hearing from you. πŸ™‚

    I have 1P installed for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. No matter what browser or site, I seem unable to get to the site and have the login data filled ( and then proceed to login, but that's evidently down the road as yet).

    What steps do I need to take to get 1P working?

    Thanks for reaching out. Do you see the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar? If you don't then please try the steps in this article: If you don't see the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar

    If you do see 1Password in your browser's toolbar then what do you see when you click on a username or password field on a website? You should see the 1Password icon in the field and then a login suggestion underneath like this:

    Clicking on the login suggestion will have 1Password fill your username and login into the page. Can you tell what you see on your end? Once I hear back from you I can help further. πŸ™‚

    Dave, I see the login choice, but clicking does not always fill the fields. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I( WAS on v7, but just updated to v8. Still having autofill issues. I use Quick Access, click the link, and it goes to the site, but then just sits there.
