4 years agoMake 1Password automatically ask to save password after login is done
Hello guys,
I know this used to worked on Safari at least, but I would like to have the ability for 1Password to automatically ask me to save a password when I enter login details on a page (that ...

3 years agoHey all! I just wanted to provide some context. The prompt to save in 1Password does appear after a form is submitted via the classic and Safari extensions. However, we moved away from it in the new extension because we've found that being prompted to save your login before submitting the form is the best way to prevent data loss (this can happen if the form is not submitted successfully). If the new password is not accepted on your site, you can re-generate a new password and save it. That way the your password never gets lost.
I do understand that getting stuck in a cycle where a site rejects the password you're entering is a bit cumbersome Tertius. That said, 1Password should be making suggestions that fall within a site's requirements, and if that's not happening, it is something that should be changed on our end. If you get the rejected password suggested via 1Password's inline menu, please let us know what site this is on so that we can report it to our developers.
In the meantime, it's possible to customize the parameters for a new password from the extension's password generator. To get to the password generator, open and unlock 1Password from your browser. Click on the key icon to open the Password Generator. Make sure to next select "Random Password" next to Type. Here's a screenshot of this: https://cln.sh/9wfNJa
After selecting that, you can then customize the desired length for your password. Simply enable "numbers" or "symbols" if your site requires those options. As a note, if you wish to use this password template going forward, you can turn on "Use as default for Suggestions".
We are always trying to improve 1Password, so we do take all your feedback very seriously. Hopefully, if we do make a change in the future, it will be something that makes it easier to save logins as well as makes it more secure so that data does not get lost.
I appreciate all your patience. Let us know if you have any other questions!
