Turn off autosubmit
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

Thank you for the feedback. If you wish, you can turn off the autosubmit feature by following these steps:
- Open your browser.
- Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
- Click Autofill & save.
- 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. 🙂

1P_Evon 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.
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.

You're most welcome.
Thanks, was trying to stop it in the app settings.

You'll need to take this step for each browser you have 1Password installed in.
- Right-click 1Password in the browser toolbar.
- Select Settings.
- Select Autofill & save.
- Turn off auto-submit - "Sign in automatically after autofill 1Password will automatically submit forms after filling logins."
How do I turn this off on macOS?
I want it to autofill but not submit.

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.

Hi 1P_Evon 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
