BobbyGee,

Thank you for your reply.

It may be technically possible to get 1Password to fill in a variety of fields on a form, but that is largely dependent on how the form is coded. I reviewed the field on this page, and it looks like a search field. 1Password in the browser was not designed to offer suggestions for a search field.

While I recommend using 1Password to fill in your information and credit cards/addresses as it's often more convenient and safer to have all your data in one location, alternatively, you can turn off 1Password as the default password manager to continue seeing search suggestions in your Chrome browser.

  1. Right-click the 1Password icon in Chrome's toolbar and click Settings.
  2. In the General section, turn off the Make 1Password the default password manager in this browser option.
  3. Paste the following into Chrome's address bar: chrome://settings/autofill.
  4. Click Addresses and more and allow Chrome to autofill Save and fill addresses.

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