2 years agoHello again @NMLoki,
Thanks for following up and joining 1Password! Glad to have you a board!
I can definitely understand how an auto-submit feature would be convenient. This is a feature that was intentionally removed a while back for two main reasons:
- Reliability - Websites didn't always behave as 1Password expected, resulting in details not being filled correctly or fields being left blank.
- Security - It is unsafe to send keyboard presses on behalf of the user, and imitating keystrokes (such as virtually pressing the Enter key) can be exploited by malware.
We've tried to find alternatives to this but so far have not found a solution that is both reliable and secure.
I apologize if this impacts your workflow, however the good news is that 1Password automatically leaves focus on the filled field, so you will always be able to press Enter to advance rather than needing to manually click the submit button in situations like this.
If you have any other suggestions, just let us know! Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
