3 years ago1Password no longer automatically offers to save a new login ?
When registering for a new login, 1Password7 (Firefox extension) would offer to save username and password and website as a new Login. No longer seems to happen in 1Password8. Have gone back 10 yea...

3 years agoThank you -- I have checked and it does work -- BUT IT DOESN'T WORK IN A WAY THE USER EXPECTS OR UNDERSTANDS, and transparency has been lost.
In previous versions, I could input user names to "register here" pages, call on the 1Password Password Generator to fill password fields appropriately and then "Register" or "Login" at a website and 1Password would pop up with a message "Do you want to save this as a login?".
Now, I type my username into a website and 1Password offers to save it -- but what as ? I don't want to save a fraction of a task into a context I don't understand. I find the number of intrusive and overlaying popup windows from the new version of 1Password visually confusing and annoying, and had therefore been ignoring this pop-up, thinking that a "proper" offer to save the login would appear later, which I think it never does if you don't accept the earlier offers to save fragments of a login.
It is also thoroughly confusing and unhelpful that when registering at a website, hovering over an empty password field produces a 1Password 'suggestion' of a password WITHOUT my getting the opportunity to control the password settings (ie there's no transparency of how the password generator is working). So for a website requiring, say, an 8-digit alphanumeric-only password, 1Password's suggesting a 20-digit fancy-character password without being asked is both confusing and unhelpful.
