Oh, also, the firefox extension recently rolled out this feature, I think it was default-enabled:

  > Use universal sign in for logins
  > Our next-generation autofill combines all login types into a single sign in prompt.

What the f does 'next-generation' mean? No link for more information. Obviously I have to turn it off, else for all I know it will start setting up passkeys (now or in a future update) or do something else anti-user. And it also means that I need to be careful about updates to 1password. Sad to watch my relationship with my password manager go downhill.

It means "Just shut up and use it, someone's bonus and/or promotion packet is depending on the usage metrics.". :P

For all I can tell it simply moved the popup widget from below the actual input to the top middle of the page, and now preemptively prompts a lot more aggressively, sometimes not even on a sign-in page.
