How to completely disable 2FA prompting

ideabucket

I keep my 2FA codes separate from 1Password. As such, I never, ever want 1Password's autofill popup to come up on a 2FA field. (Or anything that looks like a 2FA field, like a postcode field. But that's a separate gripe.) But as far as I can tell, there's no way to globally disable this behaviour without also disabling password autofill.

Am I missing something? If not, please consider adding this feature.

Hey @ideabucket,

There isn't a way to stop 1Password from appearing in 2FA fields. It shows up on these fields as it can fill them in for you. Here's how: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication.

If you would like to quickly dismiss 1Password in a field you can hit the ESC key on your keyboard or click on the 1Password icon in the field.

I hope this helps.

I second the request above. There should be a way to stop 1Password from appearing in 2FA fields. This is inherently a customer option, not a vendor marketing opportunity.

I third the request above. I appreciate 1Password trying to keep me safe, but there should be a Settings checkbox to turn off the "Store 2FA codes" prompt for those of us who use another app for 2FA.

I understand I can dismiss the dialog. It would be better to never have to see it if I don't wish to use that feature.

This "feature" honestly seems like a security hole to me--the whole point of MFA is so that an attacker would require multiple factors to gain access to your account. But if 1Pwd serves as a store of both my password and my MFA codes, then we're effectively down to a single factor, no? Unless there's something I'm not understanding about how this works?

Great question! One of my colleagues published a helpful blog article about the subject here: 1Password & 2FA: Is it Safe to Store Passwords and 2FA Codes Together?

This "feature" also seems like marketing to me. I would join the consensus in this thread: a customer should have an option to switch these 2FA prompts off.

@modjeska

Thank you for the feedback, my colleague Steph has filed a feature request on your behalf. I've added your new comment there as well.

For the time being, you can dismiss the prompt by pressing the esc key on your keyboard.

I also support the request above and would like to see it implemented.
