1P mac app adds invalid query to Zyxel 3000C 192.168.0.1 URL?
Swapped my old Centurylink PK5000Z router/MODEM for a new C3000Z today. Same configuration as the old one except admin's password changed so I just duplicated the old login entry in 1P, gave it a new name and changed the password.. If I select "Open and fill" in the 1P app on my iMac, something is adding a query phrase to the URL so it's invalid. It changes each time. Here are 3 samples:
http://192.168.0.1/?3kdty6gfeok5dl32vcdzdgm3em=5sdoykss2m4jhtud6h26hg7lka
http://192.168.0.1/?6e3tylabb2gwhe3mlz3imunjaq=5sdoykss2m4jhtud6h26hg7lka
http://192.168.0.1/?ijol3zcqhii4kqcp2axo2jjhxe=5sdoykss2m4jhtud6h26hg7lka
It I "copy" the URL in the 1P app and Paste it in the browser, nothing is added to the URL and the router's login page opens correctly. 1P offers to fill in the userid/password as usual and does it correctly. Selecting the router from the browser's 1P extension works correctly. Selecting it in the 1P app on my iPad works correctly. The problem only appears when I select "Open and fill" in the mac's 1P app. It does the same thing on two different iMacs with Safari on one and Brave on the other. I tried to purge saved logins in the macOS and browsers although it's hard to tell who's saving logins where. So it seems like the problem has to be in the 1P app on the mac.
However, I disconnected the new router and connected the old one. The old Login works correctly with the old router which has the same "http://192.168.0.1" address. So the problem appears to be unique to the C3000Z router.
So I'm way beyond confused.
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.16 (81016047)
Extension Version: 2.15.1 on Brave, 2.14.1 on Safari
OS Version: 13.5.1 (22G90)

Hi @SVanDee,
Apologies for the delay getting back to you here, I'm happy to help with this! For context, the additional text added to a URL when using the "Open and fill" option from 1Password for Mac is essentially the app letting the browser extension know that data needs to be filled, this allows for the two functions (opening and filling) to happen in a single action.
While I can't speak to the particular details for any given website, it is sometimes the case that they'll return errors when URLs aren't exactly what they expect them to be. I agree it's a bit odd to see this happening with what is technically the same address, but if you're finding that Open and fill along with the additional text it adds, is working when using your previous router, I suspect this is related to the new router's login page.
In case it helps, you can also choose to open websites from 1Password without filling them:
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Good explanation. Thanks for that and also for pointing out Open by itself will open the web site without trying to autofill. Works very well.

On behalf of Andrew, you're most welcome, @SVanDee! I'm glad they could clear that up for you.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
