1Password Preferences: General
To access 1Password’s General preferences, run 1Password and click 1Password > Preferences, then the General pane. Here you can find typical settings that govern how 1Password works, what some of its keyboard shortcuts are, and more. Below are explanations for the features and options found in this pane.
Login Options
Submit Restored Logins Automatically
When restoring a Login, 1Password can submit it automatically; this is known as Autosubmit. In other words, 1Password will fill your information into the form and submit it, saving you from needing to press the Return key or clicking a Submit button.
You can set the default Autosubmit behavior here, but Autosubmit can also be configured on a per-Login basis on each item’s Details page. This means that you can enable Autosubmit globally and disable it for specific sites that require manual intervention.
Restore Login keyboard shortcut: This allows you to specify the keyboard shortcut for automatically filling a form in your browser.
Go & Fill keyboard shortcut: This allows you to specify the keyboard shortcut for opening the Go & Fill window in your browser.
Login Previews
1Password 3 introduced Login Previews, a feature that lets you find just the Login you need more quickly by adding a small website screenshot to each one. The options here allow you to disable Login Previews, download missing previews, or delete all icons and previews in order to start over.
Clipboard Security
Copying information from 1Password means that it is stored on your Mac’s clipboard until you copy something else to replace it. This feature allows you to remove 1Password information from your Mac’s clipboard within a specific number of seconds, thus protecting your sensitive data even if you don’t copy something else for days.
