Troubleshooting:

If you are running into issues please check these items:

  • Disable LastPass:  Window menu -> Extensions -> click the slider so that it is gray, not blue. Ask in Slack's tech-issues channel if you need conversion/migration assistance.
  • In the same Extensions window, ensure 1Password's slider is blue.
  • If you have just disabled LP, a browser restart may be needed for things to operate normally.
  • Chrome ➝ Preferences ➝ Autofill ➝ Passwords should look like this:

  • Be aware that when a page first loads you'll be offered usernames and passwords from 1Password (if 1Password is selected as your autofilling app in preferences, this should automatically occur, but might take disabling LP.)  If you click elsewhere, the icon won't show up until your mouse has clicked on a user/pass field.
  • If 1Password is still not offering logins, the URL might not be saved correctly.  Less-specific URLs are often better than extremely specific (long) ones, but not always.  The most common offender is a completely different domain for the same service e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/ and https://login.live.com/ - if you've saved microsoft.com and the login page is at login.live.com, autofill won't be offered at all.  Just add the second URL under the first, no need to remove the first.
