Windows bullying to use its password management not 1Password

I'm using Windows 11. I want to exclusively use ONLY 1Password to manage ALL my passwords on both iOS and Windows. But Windows keeps nudging me to use it's password management. My question: how do I set Windows to do what I want? Where is the setting to allow me to tell Windows to always use 1Password and to stop bothering me with marketing prompts to use their solution?

    Hello @MilennialZero! 👋

    I'm sorry that you're seeing conflicting prompts from Windows when trying to use 1Password. Try the steps in our guide to turn off the built-in password manager:

    If that still doesn't work then can you post a screenshot of the prompt that you're seeing? Can you also clarify where you're seeing the prompt? In your browser? Or inside of another app?

    I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

    -Dave

    Thanks Dave - that helped. Microsoft and Google are intentionally making it confusing so you end up using their “password management” feature without knowing that it’s not 1Password.
