Nope, I have used 1Password most of last year, maybe they changed it after the data harvesting attack from a few months ago, but for me, the tool was very aggressive in submitting data without me interacting with the website. At the time LastPass was the only major player with "click to launch" feature.

> data harvesting attack Think I missed that, what happened? I don't enable 1Password autofill or any of it's browser extensions, I just see it as additional attack vectors waiting to be compromised.

    From your link: > 1Password isn’t affected by this problem because it doesn’t include an automatic autofill feature. Are you sure we’re talking about the same app? I’ve used 1Password for years, and it’s never autofilled for me. Maybe it was actually your browser’s built-in keyring?

      I think they're confusing the 1Password browser extension. 1Password has a native app, which I use on both windows and osx, and I just don't install their browser extension for autofill features. Though, given that I avoid autofill like the plague, I could easily be misunderstanding the issue too. I'm speaking of a subject I don't use, I don't think anyone should haha.

        I use the browser extension. It does not autofill. I have to open the extension and then select the site before it will fill any form fields.

    Sorry, I completely screwed here. I think I am way overworked. It's Dashlane that I was using, not 1Password. After Dashlane I was using 1Password for a week but it was not for me, moved to Padlock and now with LastPass. I have migrated to 1Pass and then from it to LastPass, thus the confusion. I checked the history of my backups and somehow forgot about my migration from Dashlane that was the initial tool that would do autofills. Sorry for the confusion, I've should check that more thoroughly. A good sign for me it is time for a walk.

The only way I can think this would happen is if you clicked a URL from within 1Password, which would visit the site and then auto fill. Otherwise you have to press a hot key. That is literally how it has been for years with the only option to change being whether or not it tries to submit the login automatically after filling.
