Why does not 1password detect a new login itself. (Feature Request) (xposted)
After filling out a new sign up form, 1password does not seem to have a way of detecting the entry to be a new entry as compared to the entries in the database and thus there seems to be no mechanism of prompting to save the password. I can not believe this basic feature to be not there in 1password, I wonder if the absence of password save prompt was meant to be a privacy feature (feature, not a bug)! What would be the reason behind not having this option?
Currently, I see the way to save password is when you click save in the 1password drop down from the form field, or another way of doing so is from the hidden option at the browser plugin logo after filling out the login form by right clicking on it to save the login. My concern with both the ways offered here is that it is obtrusive to the workflow of signing-up/logging into a website. If you don't interrupt your normal workflow to actively save the password, it never offers you an option to save it. On the other hand, various other password managers automagically detect the new entry in the login field and doesn't require you to actively interrupt your workflow to save a password by popping up the password interface, but offer a smooth notification saying if you would like to save the password. And surprisingly, that popup stays even after logging in, so it is not a missed opportunity if you could not save the password before typing enter in your keyboard.
In 1password however, if you fail to save the entries interrupting your workflow, then it is an missed opportunity. Even if you logout and login again, it would just not detect it as a new entry unless you tell it so. This seems unintelligent to me, however if there is an security angle to this feature(not bug) then please let me know. And if you realize this that this feature makes sense, then please consider including it. Life gets much easier if your password manager is smart enough to detect a non existing entry in your database and prompts you to save it with an unobtrusive click without bringing up the password saving interface all together. A software should be as invisible as possible. If you need to constantly stop and attend to it while signing up or logging in, this does not offer a great experience.

You deleted the wrong thread. The other thread had the discussion. That should have been kept, this thread could have been deleted.
