How to stop 1P from "helpfully" offering to fill in info on a site?

I am a volunteer who works with an IRS sponsored program to prepare tax returns for low income individuals. I use a laptop for this, one which has 1Password installed. The tax software used is web-based; it is not an app.

As you might imagine, there are many times where I am filling in data in a name field or an address field. Every time I enter such a field, 1P, ever ready to spring into action, "helpfully" throws up a window with what it thinks might be data I wish to enter into the field. But, of course, I never do want to do that.

Here are two examples (don't worry...this is fake data and no real person's data is shown):

Obviously, I can dismiss the drop-down window by hitting escape, but I don't want to have to keep doing that all the time.

Is there a way I can disable 1P on this particular domain?

Ideally I would love to be able to keep the ability to use 1P to enter my login credentials to the tax site initially, but if I have to give that up in order to stop 1P from being so "helpful," I would gladly do that.

1Password Version: 8.10.56
Extension Version: 8.10.56.28
OS Version: MacOS 14.7.1
Browser: Chrome, Brave, & Safari

    Hi @camner, thanks for reaching out!

    I'm sorry that the 1Password suggestions are getting in your way while using this particular webpage. If the suggestions are just automatically being suggested when you focus on a field, you can prevent this behaviour using the following steps:

    1. Right-click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, then select Settings.
    2. Click on Autofill & save in the side panel.
    3. Turn off the "Show autofill suggestions when a form field is in focus" setting.

    If that doesn't work, or you'd prefer to keep that setting enabled because you're making use of it while interacting with other websites, you can try hiding 1Password on the page:

    1. Right-click on the page.
    2. Within the context menu that appears, select 1Password - Password Manager > Hide on this page.

    Let me know if that works for you and if you have any questions. Additionally, since this behaviour involves 1Password in your browser, I've gone ahead and moved this thread to the 1Password in the browser topic.

    -David

    I have tried both of these options you suggested to camner without success. 1Password continues to attempt to autofill fields when they come in focus. Are there any other possible solutions?

    I am not interested in disabling the feature entirely, as I use it all the time. I just want to disable it on pages related to the tax software.

    I was able to use the second method successfully, sort of. I discovered that if I left a given web page on which I had instructed 1P to "hide on this page," and then went back to that page, 1P was active again even though if I used the contextual menu, there was a checkmark next to "hide on this page."

    Also, I have to say that the "disable on one page" method is not very convenient. There must be several dozen pages that I have to enter data on with the tax software. To have to disable them one at a time seems a bit much!
