4 years agoWeb form details gone from 1password8 - how do you find the prior data and where do I put it?
In 1password7 in my entry for 1Drive, I have the encryption key as a webform detail password entry. It's not on the login screen, it's on a screen post login, and I need this to get to my backups for which I am using my own private encryption key.
It looks like webform details is no longer in 1Password 8. Fine, I have to move the field. But if I can't see the contents how do I move it? (Ok, I go back to 1password7 on some device and edit the entry to 'move it')
But to what do I move it. I still don't want it to show except as *****, as it's a private field
The major issue of course is once you upgrade, you lose access to even see the field, which in this case would be catatrophic.

Is it possible to run 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 simultaneously?
It is not possible to run the two side-by-side on the same device without causing conflicts, no. You could run each on different devices, or completely quit one and launch the other, but running them at the same time will almost certainly break your experience in your browsers.

Thank you, 1P_Ben. Is it possible to run 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 simultaneously?

Hi folks,
These fields are not editable, as they're legacy fields. The best thing to do would be to save a new Login item for the site in question using 1Password in your browser and then once you've verified the new item works, delete the old item. I hope that helps!

Sorry, Mark. I'm not getting responses either.

This thread is a bit old, but I'd like to add to the conversation:
1Password is filling the "Remember Me" field. I don't want it to! So I changed my Advanced Settings to "Show auto-saved web details" and I see the "Saved on localhost" section when I edit my item, but there are no details shown.
To verify that 1Password has saved the "Remember Me" value, I "Copy item JSON" to notepad and can clear see that 1Password has saved these details.
{ "value": "", "id": "RememberMe", "name": "RememberMe", "type": "C" }, { "value": "", "id": "RememberMe", "name": "RememberMe", "type": "C" }, { "value": "", "id": "RememberMe", "name": "RememberMe", "type": "C" }How can I edit these details and remove this field!?!?!
I used to be able to do this in older versions of 1Password. How hard would it be to add this ability back?

Could I get some help with my September 14 post, please? Thank you.

Thanks for your help, 1Password Team. When I select the option to “Show auto-saved web details,” it doesn’t work for me either. I can’t see the saved details, but I could if I reinstall 1Password 7.

Let me clarify… when I say it appeared incomplete, it wasn’t showing web form data for things like ‘remember me’ checkboxes.
But in general, I don’t understand why the flexibility present in 1P7 is deprecated like this in 1P8. I manually tweak web form details all the time. It’s basically required when you save login information from an account creation page, where a lot of extra fields get saved (and often misinterpreted) by 1Password.

Hey fishbert:
Your login details, like your username or password should be in the standard username / password fields. Generally speaking, we'd recommend against manually tweaking the auto-saved web details portion. 1Password 7's auto-saved web details displays any field 1Password detected when saving, no matter its type, or data state (as in fields that were empty are displayed). 1Password 8 instead displays only fields that had data entered, other than the HTML input types checkbox and radio, and then excludes the fields that were saved as the username and password in the main item details. Let me know if that helps explain what you're seeing here!

Same problem here with the 1P8 release (8.7.0)
Enabling that setting in the Preferences shows web form detail on some entries, but it appears incomplete and I don't see a way to tell 1Pasword what kind of field it is ... like how in 1P7 you could select which field was your username, email, password, etc.
