# Problems Saving Logins Automatically

If 1Password is not automatically prompting you to save a Login, there are a few things you can do to fix the issue.

- Be sure the Autosave option is checked under the 1P button in your browser’s toolbar. This option can also be found in the 1Password > Preferences > Logins window.
- If you have multiple accounts for the same domain, 1Password will only prompt to save unique passwords. If you are reusing passwords (boo! hiss!), you will not be prompted to save the second login. You should use unique passwords, but if you choose not to, you will need to manually save the second login using the 1Password > Save Login option.
- If the site uses Adobe Flash for the login, 1Password will be unable to save it. See Adobe Flash logins for details.
- Some websites perform some “tricks” that prevent 1Password from detecting that a login occurred, so the Autosave bar does not appear. When this happens, you can manually save the Login by selecting Save Login from the 1Password toolbar menu. (Note that the 1Password extensions for Google Chrome currently do not include the option to save a Login manually.)
