I’m keeping track of some social media captions in my Airtable base but every time I copy and paste into Airtable I get a prompt to update saved password. It’s quite annoying to have to minimize the window each time I paste something. Is there a way to disable that pop up?

Hi @DinaSorrenti,
This does not look like an issue with Airtable but rather the browser you're using - the procedure might vary based on your browser. 
Here's a breakdown of how to adjust pop-up settings in a few common web browsers:

For Google Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to open the menu.
  3. Select "Settings."
  4. Scroll down and click on "Privacy and security" in the left sidebar.
  5. Under "Privacy and security," click on "Site settings."
  6. Scroll down and click on "Pop-ups and redirects."
  7. Toggle the switch to allow or block pop-ups as desired.

For Mozilla Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner to open the menu.
  3. Select "Options."
  4. In the left sidebar, click on "Privacy & Security."
  5. Scroll down to the "Permissions" section.
  6. Find "Block pop-up windows" and click on the "Exceptions..." button if you want to allow pop-ups from specific sites.

For Microsoft Edge:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge.
  2. Click on the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner to open the menu.
  3. Select "Settings."
  4. Scroll down and click on "Cookies, site permissions, and more."
  5. Under "Site permissions," click on "Pop-ups and redirects."
  6. Toggle the switch to allow or block pop-ups as desired.

I hope this helps!

Mine is doing the same thing.  It just started doing it though.  Every time I enter anything it pops up. I followed that suggestion and it did not help.

Same problem. Very annoying when using Airtable to run my compliance audits with external assessors. Chrome solution above does not work. Airtable please fix.

Same here, chrome browser and every time I change data in a cell it comes up with the password update. Cannot stop it from doing it and it's driving me batty as I am trying to get my work done!

I got it to stop!

Apparently, my b/s keyboard without a numlock light indicator was the culprit. I hit the numlock key and no more password prompts! *ugh*

This is happening to me too & the recs haven't worked 🙃

Try downloading the airtable app for desktop! That app solved this issue for me.
