When logging into Chromebook, how can I get 1Pass to autofill password?

I have my Gmail password saved in a vault. When I log into my Chromebook, I need the password to get in, but 1Password doesn't pop up. How can I get it to suggest passwords so I'm not typing in my password manually?

    Hi @natalieme! Welcome to the forum!

    I think this is a chicken and egg problem that exists on every platform. You cannot use 1Password until you have logged into your device, and in order to log into your device you need a password, but at that point you cannot get it from 1Password yet, since you haven't logged in.

    My recommendation would be to use a word-based password for this account, so it's easy to remember and to type (and 1Password can generate this kind of passwords too).
