    Welcome to the forums, Ken! This is a great question.



    Though there is no technical reason you cannot have both 1Password and your browser's built-in password manager enabled, we recommend disabling browsers' built-in password management. This is both (1) to avoid confusion — "I swear I saved that already!" — and (2) for extra security — Google "[url="http://www.google.com/search?q=browser+password+security"]browser password security[/url]."



    To disable password management in…



    [list]



    [*]Safari: Preferences > AutoFill > UNCHECK User names and passwords

    [*]Firefox: Preferences > Security > UNCHECK Remember passwords for sites

    [*]Chrome: Preferences > Personal Stuff > SELECT Never save passwords

    [/list]

    I hope that helps. Please let me know. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />
