Make 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 are not already present in 1Password). As in saving to 1Password after I successfully login, not the popup that says Save to 1Password before I actually see if the entered data is valid. Hope my explanation makes sense.

Keep up the awesome work ;),
Laurentiu


1Password Version: 8.6.0 (80600051)

    That's part of the most fragile workflow I found in 1Password. If you're asked to save an entry before you submit the web form, a password might be saved that is refused by the website if you actually submit. So 1Password will save a password that's not actually valid for the web service.

    This is especially bad, if you don't login but do a password change. And even worse if it's a 1st login to a new account and you're required to change the password unconditionally and the website asks the current password over and over again until you finally choose one that is accepted according to the password policy. You know, some sites have weird password policy where you need multiple tries to get a password accepted. In these cases, the valid password is long overwritten by several tries for a new password and you need to grab it from deep within the password history every time. It's not happening often, but I encountered this more than only once and it made me really furious.

    Definitely a feature I'd love. I've actually just switched from LastPass to 1P, they already have this feature and it was pretty dope and felt natural.

    To my knowledge it isn't something we're planning but we're happy to continue to gather feedback to pass to our product team.

    Is this on the roadmap, or is it currently backlogged? Thanks for the replies!

    Hey @laurentiuonac:

    Thanks for your feedback! As DenalB noted (thanks for the assist! 😎), currently the Save in 1Password button would be your best bet, but we're always exploring additional improvements to 1Password.

    Hi @laurentiuonac !

    There are already some feature requests for such a popup. Actually, there is only the autofill menu on field focus for saving your credentials.

    I also would like to have a popup that appears after successfully log into a website, so you know that the credentials are working. I remember such a popup in the 1Password classic extension. Such a popup would be great. 👍
