Can't manually add logins in browsers

There are times I want to manually add a new login using the browser extensions. In both Firefox (25.0.1) and Chrome (31.0.1650.57 m), when I open the browser extension and click on the "+" in the top-right corner, nothing happens. Is there any way to add a new login thru the browser extension without actually going to the destination site and logging in (or adding it in the desktop version of 1Password)?

    I have the same issue. Most current 1Password Desktop and Chrome extension (not beta). The + button in the extension is fun to click over and over, but nothing happens.

    I've reproduced it in Firefox and will bring it to the attention of Development.

    Thanks!

    You need to be on a login page (having at least one password-type field) for this to work. If 1Password does not "see" a login page, then there is nothing to save.

    @ranilev and @caycepollard, can you tell us the URLs of pages where you've seen this behavior? We'd like to make sure we're not missing something.

    Thanks!

    @DBrown, it happens on pretty much every web page - for example, this forum page we are on now, www.google.com, www.amazon.com, etc. As @svondutch mentions, it does work if you are on a login page and have entered info into at least one field, but that's not what I need - I want to be on a random page and MANUALLY enter a login (one that I have already created and just want to add into 1Password).

    I see. I'm sorry to say that that's not the way it's designed to work, @ranilev. At this time, the main program is still the place for off-line creation of Logins and other items.

    Thanks for letting us know such a feature would be useful to you, though. We thrive on feedback from our customers!

    Thanks for the info. Since that's the case, it would be helpful if the "+" were grayed out when it is not on a login page. I couldn't find a user guide for the browser plugins, and the "+" looked available (and didn't give any error message when I tried on a non-login page), so I had no way of knowing it wasn't an option except on login pages.

    Those are great suggestions, @ranilev. Thanks!

    I have seen this behavior on several login pages. The one causing me trouble this morning is the SiriusXM Internet Radio login page (https://www.siriusxm.com/player/#view=login). I have tried this in both Windows and OSX. I have tried Firefox, IE, and Chrome browsers. Firefox is my primary browser, and I am using the 3.9.20 extension. I am up to date on all versions of 1Password.

    So, no version of 1Password is able to save a Login item for that page, either automatically or manually?
