prevent e-mail suggestions in Chrome & Safari

edited May 2022 in 1Password in the Browser

In Safari (my main browser) and in Chrome, but not in FF, 1P suggests email-addresses (coming from stored login-id's, I presume) when I'm filling in a simple form (e.g. to subscribe to a newsletter). Even if I don't have an actual account on the given site (but then I get the 'No suggestions to show' message, obviously)

This makes the UX in Safari and Chrome not ideal: The 1P drop-down covers the next field below the email-address field, and the drop-down isn't always easily "closed", so I find myself fumbling with the mouse-pointer, tab-keys... to finish the otherwise easy enough job to fill in the form. Anyways: suggesting email-addresses makes no sense with this use case. The FF extension seems smarter in its logic and doesn't offer logins when it doesn't recognise the form as a login-form.

I can replicate this easily on https://edition.cnn.com/newsletters (I have no account at CNN) and here (where I do have an account): https://www.standaard.be/nieuwsbrieven

Can I fix the behaviour in Safari myself, so that 1P behaves in FF, as described?

thx

    Hi @itp,

    You should be able to hide the inline menu by clicking the 1Password icon on the right-hand end of the form field, as in this example from CNN like you mentioned:

    If you find the inline menu is in the way on a form, you can toggle it on and off by clicking there. It's also worth making sure that the built-in password manager in your browser isn't getting in the way of things:

    ☞ Turn off the built-in password manager in a browser on multiple computers

    Give those things a try – I hope they help.

    – Will

    OK. What about the difference in UX between Firefox on the one hand, and Safari and Chrome on the other hand. I know how to disable the inline menu. I believe it should not appear when I'm not dealing with a login form. In FF, this works as expected. Not in the other two.

    Have you at least tried to reproduce the issue, based on my descriptions?
