Hi

With my Firefox I usually have it so 1password does not take over with usernames and password unless I use extension and choose auto fill. I do this as I access a lot of internal servers and these details are stored in the browser. Since the beginning of this week I just get the 1 password icon in the boxes and can't user the browser saved usernames and password, the only way I now need to be able to get this to work is to disable the extension.

How to get put this back to how it was as need to use 1password but also need my browser saved usernames and password to work.


1Password Version: 79.2
Extension Version: 2.2.3
OS Version: macos 12.2

    Hey @glennbtn, we don't typically recommend using 1Password and your browser's default password manager together, since that can cause some confusion. However, if that is something that you'd truly like to do, the best way would be to:

    Prevent the inline menu from automatically appearing
    1. Right-click on the 1Password icon in Firefox's toolbar and click Settings.
    2. Scroll to Autofill and turn off "Show Autofill menu on field focus".

    With this, the inline menu is still available if you would like to use it. You'd just have to call on the inline menu by clicking on the 1Password icon in your fields. Then 1Password can help you save or fill.

    Edit your filling settings in your browser
    1. Copy and paste "about:preferences#privacy" to your address bar in Firefox.
    2. Go to Logins and Passwords.
    3. Make sure to tick "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites".
    4. Under that, make sure to tick "Autofill logins and passwords".
    5. If you want Firefox to autofill credit cards and addresses, go down to "Forms and Autofill" and make the appropriate selections there as well.

    I hope that helps!
