New autofill automation disconcerting
Sometime recently autofill behavior changed for me. It used to be that autofill would populate username/password then I could click "login" or the equivalent and I would login or fail. With that behavior I could manually change a password or username or ask for a password reset. Now, autofill also submits the login automatically. Much of the time this is very convenient, but even when it is convenient it is disconcerting to me. It is inconvenient when the login fails as trouble shooting becomes significantly more difficult. Is there a setting to go back to the older behavior?
1Password Version: 8.10.34
Extension Version: 2.24.2
OS Version: macOS14.4
Browser: Brave 1.67.116
I have the same issue with several websites including the Google login (accounts.google.com) : with the new autofill feature, the "forgot email" link would be activated instead of the "next" button.
I mentioned it in another thread, but I'm not sure if anyone saw it: this login automation should be opt-in, not opt-out. It's not good to hijack a browser's behaviour by default. Users should be asked to consent to that.
And, as luckman212 suggested, even when users opt in, they should be able to choose which websites the functionality is applied to. Because inevitably, it will cause problems with some websites.

Regarding this: I found a site that doesn't work with autosubmit enabled (FreshDirect.com). Instead of pressing the submit button, it was actioning the "Forgot my password" link every time.
So it would be nice if this feature could be disabled on a case-by-case basis instead of globally all or nothing. Generally it's a very nice and timesaving feature, but I had to disable it because this one site out of 1,000 did not work...
Thank you for your help. I did as you said and changed the "AutoFill & Save" setting. For the test case I had, it did not change anything. (That was after logging off and logging on again, just in case that mattered.) Oddly, logging into THIS community discussion it worked as I wish! OTOH, I tried a couple of other web sites and had the same result, namely: as soon as I selected the 1password prompt on the username, both username and password were filled in and the page logged in. EDIT: Sorry, I changed the wrong option! What you suggested worked perfectly! Thank-you!
