Autologin and creation of 1password items - how do I make it work?

I have Automatically ask to Save new Logins selected.

I tried multiple things to get 1Password to generate a "save a new item", but to no avail - I typed in username/password myself vs. allowing autofill, and so on. It only appears to trigger if I had never been to the site before (like this one).

Second item - got it, but interesting you use a password/login methodology your own software doesn't support automatically - must do it manually.

tl:dr?

I can't make the automatic item creation work in many cases in Firefox. I tend to know how to do these things.

Again - tl:dr - this is about userids stored as cookies/autofill/saved passwords in Firefox, not new ones.

Ok, am continuing my research, and will try to be clearer.

I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. 1Password will not pop up and offer to save your details if you already have those details saved in 1Password. The 'Save new Login' pop-up is for data that is not in 1Password.

I understand this. What I am testing does not exist in 1Password.

Could you please provide a few websites where 1Password is failing to prompt you to save a new Login? I've tested a few sites just now, and I am getting the pop-up reliably. Here are the steps that I've taken:
Go to Twitter.com
Enter bogus username and password (I'm using bogus information, because my existing accounts are already saved in 1Password)
The same is true for Facebook and Amazon.

I'd love to know the exact steps that you're taking so I can re-create them heres.

What you do will work every time, I agree. If you reread my messages, it is logins that exist as saved passwords or autofills or cookies (or whatever it is) in Firefox that don't work. What you are doing is creating brand new stuff, and that's not the topic at hand.

Based on later post: Some of the quoted text below is inaccurate once you turn off "remember passwords" in firefox. The point is that this info is already in my Firefox.

So, let's stick to Facebook and Amazon, since that's where I'm testing. Create or use a real login, that is NOT in 1Password, and Firefox will come up with "save this password for future use" or something like that. [Note: I turned this off at some point, but the problem remains]

Given for YOU, this will be brand new, 1Password will probably also offer to create an item. SAY NO. (Actually, you can probably do bogus as long as you follow these steps, the point is to get SOMETHING into Firefox (saved password, autofill, something...)

From that point forward, you will not be offered by 1Password to create a login. You might say "well, I DID say no to 1Password!"___

But for me, I NEVER GOT OFFERED a new item, because for me the "Firefox saved info" already existed. So, now as I move to 1Password, I cannot get 1Password to create logins automatically. As I stated in the very first line of this thread, "if I do it manually, it's ok".

What compounds this is I cannot even use "Create New Login" - that won't pop up an offer either.
And to even go further - I have deleted the saved password, deleted the cookies, exited Firefox, and 1Password will STILL not create an item. At this moment, I suspect autofill, because, even when I type userid in by hand, Firefox suggests the full login userid. But that's why I'm asking here - I shouldn't have to spend hours trying to figure this out.

You can change which vault a Login is saved to by clicking on the vault icon in the 'Save new Login' dialogue box.

Ok. Got it! Wouldn't have thought to click the icon, especially given the dialog box acts as if only Primary exists.

bwoodruff, I agree, and have disabled NEW creation of passwords. (I do realize, however, that my statement of "do you want to save this password" by Facebook in my message above would belie that - I've changed a few things over the hours I've worked on this)

That said, I also was following this:

Note: You might not want to clear the list of saved passwords in your browser until you’ve created Logins in 1Password for the corresponding sites.

Ok, problem still not solved. I am deleting passwords that remain in the list individually (as the note says, I don't want to wipe them all if I can avoid it), but that doesn't help either. I FINALLY got one of the ids in facebook to trigger the login prompt - so it is fixable, but with all I'm trying to do, I'm in the "too many things changing at the same time to realize what finally worked for one item".

I do have one question: I found one item indeed in 1password from an import - but it was in a vault called - "Old Stuff to move around" - does 1Password search across multiple vaults to decide whether to pop up the "Save Login" - you can't search across Vaults, so was wondering. Again, this is just more detective work. Other than this one item, most of the things I'm testing are not in 1Password at all.

PS - turning off "save passwords" in Firefox not disable autofill, so wondering if that may be where the problem resides. I have had many theories over the last couple days.

At this point, it probably would have been easier to do it all manually. Sigh.
