# Login Options

To see the login preferences, click 1Password > Preferences, then click the Logins pane. Below are explanations for the features and options found in this pane.

## Login Options

Submit automatically after filling a Login (Autosubmit)

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.

Enable Autosave of Logins in browser

When the Autosave preference is enabled, every form with a password field that 1Password does not already have a record for will be saved as a new Login. If you have multiple logins for the same site that use the same password, you will need to manually select Save Login from the 1Password toolbar icon in your web browser. Note: In the interest of protecting your data, we do not recommend using the same password for more than one account, even if it is generated using 1Password’s Strong Password Generator feature.

Prompt for name to assign newly created Login

1Password can prompt you to enter a custom name for new Logins when saving them. If you would rather have 1Password use the name of the webpage for the Login and save it without prompting you, uncheck this setting.

Automatically include username in Login title

When naming a Login, 1Password can include the username in parenthesis at the end, e.g.: “Gmail (username).” This is useful if you frequently manage multiple logins for a single site, perhaps work and personal accounts for Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter.

Fill 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.

## Avoiding Autosave on These Domains

If you select Never For This Website when prompted to save a Login, the site’s domain (www.website.com) will be added to the Autosave Rules list in this pane. In the future, 1Password will not prompt you to autosave any Logins for these domains.

You can remove entries from this list by clicking the minus (-) button below the domain name list. You can also add entries by clicking the plus (+) button, if you wish, but usually new rules will be added from within your web browser.
