Does 1Password disable autofill in unrelated input fields on Chrome?

I'm developing a web site. Some of my users have requested autofill in a subject field. This field (indeed, the entire page) has nothing that concerns 1Password. No passwords. No credit card info. No addresses. No usernames.

Using Chrome, autofill will not work unless I turn the 1Password extension off. In the Chrome settings there is an "Autofill" section with three subsections: "Passwords", "Payment methods", and "Addresses and more". Each of these say "1Password -- Password Manager is controlling this setting". There does not appear to be a middle ground where 1Password can control passwords and payment methods but not the "addresses and more".

Am I missing something? Is there a way to have the browser control autofill on unrelated input fields without losing functionality from the 1Password extension?

Thanks!

1Password Version: 7.9.4
Extension Version: 2.3.3
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    Hey @bwbecker2!

    Thanks for reaching out to us here. 🙂

    While 1Password in the browser wasn't specifically designed to play nice alongside the built-in autofill for various browsers, there is a way to make life a little easier in your case. To do this, you'll want to turn off this setting in the 1Password browser extension:

    1. Right click the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar and select 'Settings'.
    2. Under General, turn off 'Make 1Password the default password manager'.

    This will essentially remove the message '1Password -- Password Manager is controlling this setting' you're seeing, and allow you to use Chrome's built-in autofill, without disabling the 1Password extension.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you run into any weirdness and I'll be happy to help however I can.
