Subject says it all really, I want to enable Chrome saving passwords for sites I don't care about (mainly local DHCP IP address ones), but still let 1Password save passwords for sites I do care about. I've seen mention of an option "Make 1Password the default password manager" but I can't find it anywhere in 1Password Preferences.


1Password Version: 7.9.3.BETA-2 (70903002)
Extension Version: 2.3.0
OS Version: 12.2

    Hey @StephenMott! By default, 1Password will control the autofill setting in your browser. We do recommend using 1Password to fill all your data as it's often more convenient and safer to have that data in one location.

    That said, if you want to use your Chrome browser to also fill, you can do the following:
    1. Right-click 1Password's icon in Chrome's toolbar and click Settings.
    2. Under "General" turn off the "make 1Password the default password manager" option.
    3. Under "Autofill" turn off "Show autofill menu on field focus".
    4. Paste the following into Chrome's address bar: chrome://settings/autofill
    5. Make the appropriate selections to allow Chrome to autofill.

    As a note, turning off "Show autofill menu on field focus" will prevent 1Password's inline menu from automatically appearing with suggestions when you're on a site. To open the inline menu, simply click on the 1Password icon in the sign-in fields on your sites. Then you can click on whatever login you'd like for 1Password to fill.

    I hope this helps!

    Oh thats where it it, I was looking in the main apps settings, I think just unchecking "make 1Password the default password manager" has done what I need, Chrome is prompting to save again, 1Password still offers too, perfect, thanks very much! :)
