Minor Bug - Notification about Autofill being turned off in 1P for Browser does not go away
It's very minor, not even sure I'd call it a bug so much as a nuisance. With 1Password in the Browser, on Firefox, whenever I start the browser I get a notification that "Filling and saving password...
I appreciate you sharing your use case and thoughts. I can definitely see your perspective.
Just to add to that, perspective-wise. Quite a lot of sites have their login fields right on the front page, and also default to the username field being the first focus once the page loads, so suggestion pop-ups can be annoyingly frequent depending on which sites one regularly browses.
I'm perhaps also among the less common users in that I always log out, and all cookies are cleared whenever my browser is closed, so I'm never logged in to any site I go to, initially. I only log in if it's actually necessary for whatever I'm doing. So, for those login-fields-on-frontpage type sites, you can see how that could make for even more frequent login suggestion pop-ups.
Out of curiosity, have you considered just turning off "Show autofill suggestions when a form field is in focus"? This would prevent suggestions from appearing until you click on the 1Password icon in a username/password field. Or did you not want the 1Password icon to appear either?
I hadn't really even thought about that, truth be told. It just became habit to disable suggestions entirely whenever I set up the extension, even in older days before it was 1P in the Browser. It's pretty much muscle-memory to either use the keyboard shortcut, or hit the main Extension icon up in the top-right of the browser bar, because that location is always consistent--whereas everyone's login page is formatted differently so the input fields (and the 1P icon in them) can be all over the place as far as location on the screen.
Since using autofill from keyboard shortcut or from main Extension icon doesn't actually require me to click on the input fields first to make them focus (assuming they aren't already by default), I don't even have to really pay attention to where the fields are on the screen, or the in-field 1P icon. To be honest, because of the fact that I don't use the in-field icon in favor of the main Extension icon, I hadn't even noticed it wasn't there.
I wasn't deliberately looking to remove the icon from the input fields though, no, only turn off the automatic suggestion pop-ups. I'll flip those first two settings around (on and off, respectively) and see how that goes!
