Hello, gveres. Thank you for reaching out.

We've recently released the Auto-type feature to the 1Password for Windows app to fill logins into desktop apps, terminals and webpages. Auto-type for Windows automatically inputs the username and password for single-page login forms and even copies your 2FA to your clipboard to paste if required by the service you are signing into. Here's more information: https://support.1password.com/windows-auto-type/.

If you'd like to revert to the Open in browser behaviour, uncheck the Show auto-type action in Quick Access under the General settings for the 1Password desktop app. If you prefer to leave Auto-type checked and continue using Open in browser, use the Alt + Enter keyboard shortcut on your Login item to open it in the browser.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
