Autofilled password is incomplete (mega.co.nz) [confirmed]
This issue only appears to affect MEGA (mega.co.nz)
My autofilled passwords were getting rejected so I tried copy + pasting them manually into the field. When doing that, I realised that the pasted password is visibly longer than the autofilled password. It seems that it was not being entered in its entirety.
I contacted MEGA as I suspected it was an issue with their site. I'm not convinced that they actually bothered to understand my query but they strongly discouraged me from using a password manager for security reasons (makes no sense?) and did not offer a solution. I don't know if the issue is with 1Password and it's not a big deal either way but just in case it's a compatibility issue and it becomes more prevalent, I'm letting you know.

Hi, @grahamnp.
First, thanks for letting us know. :)
Please give this workaround a try and let me know your results:
Fill the login form twice in a row.
I manually saved a new Login item. After the first fill with it the login form looked like this (with an obviously overfilled password field):
And the second fill it looked like this (with a correct length password field):
Take a look at the web form details for the Login item to get an idea of why this is trying to outsmart 1Password. We'll have to dig deeper to figure out if it can be made to work on the first fill attempt.

Hi oversoul,
Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for the late reply.
I did try make a second login and can't find any difference between the original autosaved one and my 2nd manually created one.
You're right, filling it in twice in a row works. I'm content with that for now as it's not a big inconvenience, just thought I'd let you know.
