1Passoword auto submits my forms since the last update. I found no option to disable this. This is annoying as many forms have questions and other items that have to be filled in, some remain in default (in most cases unsecure) options (like remember me), some have extra fields which needs to be filled in so I get an error. I like to use "Open and fill" which in this mode is like russian roulette, if the site changes and there is some extra uption it will be submittied, without me even noticing there was something there.

1Password Version: 8.10.30
Extension Version: 81030032
OS Version: Windows 10
Browser: Chrome/Vivaldi

    Congratulations for this option. Really annoying. Where can I disable it?

    Hello! 👋

    I'm sorry that the autosubmit feature is getting in the way, I've merged your comments into one thread so that we can keep the conversation in the same place. You can turn off autosubmit by following these steps:

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
    3. Click Autosave & fill.
    4. Turn off "Sign in automatically after autofill".

    This is annoying as many forms have questions and other items that have to be filled in, some remain in default (in most cases unsecure) options (like remember me), some have extra fields which needs to be filled in so I get an error.

    Are you able to provide any examples that I can take a look at? I can open issues with our development team so that they can look into improving how autosubmit works on those websites. 🙂

    I know this is an older thread, but I'm having issues with Autosubmit, particular when logging into Gmail or Google Workspace, where 1Password Autosubmit choses to "click" that I have forgotten my email address, instead of "clicking" the button Next, and therefore I can not use it for logging into Gmail (Google Workspace)

    If I could disable or enable it on every login, it might work better, Or I should be able to train it on what to "click" depending on the login, or it should be trained depending on what it observes me doing :-)

    Hope that helps you in your effort to develop the product more :-)

    All the best

    I'm seeing this thread late too, but I appreciate the instructions for turning the feature off.

    Bank of America is one site that doesn't like this behavior at all:

    Hello, @1PasswordUser24. Thank you for writing in! I'm sorry about the issue you're encountering with the Autosubmit feature.

    I've done some testing on my end but haven't been able to recreate the same behaviour on Google's sign-in page. May I ask if the page is in a different language? If there's an issue on a specific page with Autosubmit, I can report it to our development team for further investigation.

    Furthermore, I understand the usefulness of turning off the Autosubmit feature for a specific website. While I can't make any promises, I've shared your feedback with our product team.

    @Funglin

    On behalf of Dave, you're very welcome. I apologize for the trouble. I suspect the issue on the Bank of America website is related to the password not filling before submitting. The password field on this specific page becomes available after entering the username. Does the issue occur on their home page? -> https://www.bankofamerica.com/.

    I look forward to hearing back.

    @EvonG1P - I turned the Autosubmit feature back on, and no, the issue does not occur on the BofA home page.

    @Funglin, I appreciate the time you took to test that. I'm glad that it works on the home page. Nevertheless, I've reported the behaviour to our development team for further investigation.

    Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

    Hi @EvonG1P Yes the login page for Google is in a different language, I have not tried it in english, as it always defaults to my native language, that might be the reason... I have not looked into how Google programs their login pages in different languages. ;-)

    Thank you for your feedback

    You're very welcome @1PasswordUser24.

    I was able to reproduce the behaviour if the language was in German for a different user, and I reported the behaviour to the team. So that I can report this problem to our development team, may I ask which language it defaults to?

    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    How do I turn this off on macOS?

    I want it to autofill but not submit.

    You'll need to take this step for each browser you have 1Password installed in.

    1. Right-click 1Password in the browser toolbar.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Select Autofill & save.
    4. Turn off auto-submit - "Sign in automatically after autofill
      1Password will automatically submit forms after filling logins."

    Hi, one of the reasons this feature does not work well is various "I'm human" or CAPTCHA type fields that are often on login pages. It seems 1PW doesn't know those are present on the page and tries to auto-submit regardless, which obviously leads to the login attempt failing.

    If this could be addressed, I think this feature could be worthwhile.

    Thank you for the report, @lfanchi.

    The team has an internal work item to improve how Autosubmit works with websites that use a captcha, and I've added your feedback there. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    @EvonG1P I hope you guys see the bigger picture here. This auto-submit "feature" is fundamentally impossible to implement generically. If it works properly, it is at best a tiny convenience to the user. And if it does not work properly, it is a huge headache. This represents a terrible trade-off.

    There are so many edge cases: CAPTCHA tests, "I'm human" checks, "Remember me" checkboxes. As well as website-specific options (such as "log in as: administrator/user" or "take me to: home/account-overview/billing"). Trying to handle every possibility, in every human language, represents a colossal waste of engineering effort for something of such negligible utility.

    If you guys remove this feature completely, I sincerely doubt that any user would complain.

    Thank you for the feedback. If you wish, you can turn off the autosubmit feature by following these steps:

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
    3. Click Autofill & save.
    4. Turn off "Sign in automatically after autofill".

    Alternatively, the latest version of 1Password in the browser allows you to turn off autosubmit for specific pages:

    If you guys remove this feature completely, I sincerely doubt that any user would complain.

    Autosubmit has been requested by a significant number of people over the years. 🙂
