Unable to auto-fill generated passwords

  1. When a form asks me to "create password" I can see the 1Password dropdown with a suggested password, but clicking that item does nothing (see screenshot 1).
  2. If I go into the Chrome extension and try to copy the generated password, I get an error saying unable to save generated password (see screenshot 2).


1Password Version: 8.7.1
Extension Version: 2.3.5
OS Version: macOS 12.4 (21F79)

    Same, on Firefox Nightly 106.0a1 (2022-08-26) (64-bit), on Windows 10 Build 19044. Unlike for tmsaylor (above), this feature has worked for me before, although I hadn't tried it in the past few months.

    Interestingly, it worked without issue when I signed up for an account on the 1Password forums just now! I may have restarted 1Password after the last failure; it's difficult to tell. (The relevant site's change-password page had some unrelated fun bugs that I initially misattributed to 1Password misbehaving.)

    Same problem here, using the Chrome extension. This feature has never worked for me in 1Password 8 (after several months of use). I've tried it on multiple Windows computers.

    Same behavior as reported above ("Use Suggested Password" does nothing and the Copy button says "Unable to save generated password").

    Facing same problem. Just started using 1password. Anyone can help?

    I am using Mozilla Browser 101.0.1

    I wasn't trying to create any new account, but rather changing password of an existing account, but the problem is same.
