Since Apple Passwords became available, it’s window appears over the 1Password window when accessing a web site (see screen shot) and it takes me some clicks (and some cursing) to get rid of it and to use the 1Password window. I can’t believe that I am the only one having this issue yet I see no discussion of it, so I have to assume I am doing something wrong. Does anyone have a solution please?

Turn off password fill for the Passwords app. Use only one or the other.
You don’t say if it’s Mac or mobile, but for Mac, safari preferences and turn off user name and passwords on the Autofill tab. On mobile, Settings / General / Autofill & Passwords, keep 1Password on and Passwords off.

Thank you Doug, I was afraid that that might be the (only) solution. This is on a Mac, currently running Sequoia, soon to be Tahoe.
So it’s not possible to use both 1PW and Passwords concurrently.
Have I understood correctly: on a Mac you turn off Passwords autofill in Safari? There doesn’t seem to be an option in Passwords itself to turn off autofill
Yes, turn it off in Safari on Mac. This is what I did when I was using 1Password. Since 1P announced the price increase, I’ve switched to Passwords, so of course now I have that turned on.
It is possible to use password filling from both Passwords and 1Password. I keep Passwords on because if it has the password, it is faster than Electron 1Password.
When the Password dialog overlays the one from 1Password, can hit Esc to dismiss it.

That’s a useful tip, thank you Michael.
Coming in late…but I think it is possible sometimes. At least on iOS when there’s a password page you can click Passwords at the top of the keyboard and then select 1PW or Passwords. I think it’s the same on Tahoe but can’t remember.
Yes, the choice is much easier in iOS, I don’t know yet how it is in Tahoe. For the moment I’m simply disabling Passwords in my browsers - it seems you have to turn it off in each browser separately. Hopefully Passwords will continue to expand its capabilities and I will be able to switch to it and let 1PW fade.
I have found Passwords to be helpful when I am setting out to set up an account with Hide Your Email, but I like to consolidate it later into 1Password for my main password control. I still do not think my wife understands the difference between the two, but we try to keep all in 1Password and then share what needs to be shared.
I would think that you only need to turn it off in Safari. For Firefox and Chrome, you’d have to have installed Apple’s extension for the passwords app - it doesn’t autofill natively.
Yes, I think you’re right, Doug, and thank you for coming back to this. I don’t recall having explicitly installed the extension but looking at it I obviously must have.
