3 years agoThank you for getting back to me joisagile, I hear what you are saying.
The battle to keep 1Password filling properly across every single site on the web is a one without a clear endpoint. In these scenarios, we cannot determine where the login fields are using a website URL so it requires a little manual input for you to point 1Password at the login form.
This would be the same if you were to create bookmarks in your browser for all of your login pages, you would still need to click login in due to the way these specific websites are structured. 1Password is working as expected on these login forms and it wouldn't be possible for it to automatically open the login form on the page for you.
We do have documentation for web developers in terms of best practices for designing websites to work best with 1Password. However, we are unable to determine how a website is structured and where they place the login fields.
Of course if there are websites where 1Password is not working as expected please let us know so we can make improvements on our end but if there are some where accessing the login form is particularly difficult for you I would recommend contacting the website owners themselves.
Let us know if you have any questions!
