Description of the issue:
With 1Password extension installed, Brave password manager still tries to offer passwords, even though “Offer to save passwords” is disabled. The Brave password manager password suggestions render on top of the 1Password password suggestions, obscuring the 1Password entries. I have recently reinstalled W10 22H2 on my computer and the issue persisted. I’ve also tried disabling 1Password and even with the Brave settings set to not offer to save passwords or sign in automatically, it still offers passwords.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Install W10 22H2
Install Brave
Set up Sync
Disable password manager
Install 1Password Extension
Go to a site that has the password stored in both Brave PM and 1Password and Brave will still try to offer passwords.
Expected result:
Brave Password Manager should not be offering passwords when 1Password is installed and enabled.
Brave Version( check About Brave):

@devolutionist, these are two different things. Offer to save passwords means the browser would ask if you want to save a password for future use. What you’re describing is the browser offering a password you’ve already saved in Brave’s password manager.
The Sign in automatically feature rarely works because most websites don’t support it. This setting, when enabled, would automatically sign you in without clicking anything.
Currently, there is no way to turn off autofill in Brave. If you don’t want the password suggestion box to appear, you might consider removing the saved passwords from Brave and only storing them in 1Password.
@Mattches in addressing the above, do you know if that’s something being worked on? A toggle on password manager so it won’t show up for input if someone wants it turned off, even if temporarily.
I’ll have to look into the status of this issue. I know that this has been brought up in the past and I too personally find it quite annoying. I do know that one solution is to not have any passwords saved in the browser, as it cannot offer you to autofill passwords that don’t exist for you.
Thank you for the quick reply on this, and I do see what you mean being two different things.
The only way to delete passwords in Brave - if I’m not mistaken - is one at a time, correct? Click entry - press delete - repeat. I’ve got several hundred stored, so this would be a very large undertaking for a workaround.
@devolutionist there is a faster way if you want to purge all of them. Just go to Delete Browsing Data and to the Advanced tab and you’ll see Passwords as one of the options, such as you can see selected in the screenshot below:
Again, doing this will erase all of your saved passwords. But there indeed does not seem to be a way to select groups of passwords at a time.
NOTE/WARNING
If you have it synced and want to keep passwords on other devices, you may want to make sure you don’t have Passwords selected as a sync item in your sync settings. Otherwise as you remove passwords, it will be removing them from all of your synced devices. Plus the opposite is true, that if you add passwords on other devices it will be added to this profile/device you’re trying not to have the passwords saved in.
