Hi Marcelo,

Here is what usually works for me.

  1. On the field which is not auto-filling, right-click > Inspect (on chrome, should be similar with other browsers).
  2. In the inspector pane, locate the `id` or `aria-label` property of the `form` item for that field, and retain its value. The screenshot I added in my original post shows this.
  3. In your 1password Login item, add a password item, use the value from step 2 as its title, and your actual password  as its value.
  4. Save. Refresh the page and it should auto-fill correctly.

Hope that helps!
