Saving multiple account keys in browser local storage

Could the Family Web site login be setup as a normal web page login via 1Password Primary Vault? I just started to get into this, but I moved everything out of the Primary Vault to my own Family vault. The only thing I have in my Primary vault is the 1Password Recovery Kit as a Secure Note. Could we have the ability to add a Login entry (one for each user if you need) that contains the E-Mail, Account Key and Master Family password into the Primary vault and have 1Password app properly fill in the login page for the Families Web Login?

Thanks. If I add a custom field for the account key. Would 1Password use this to automatically fill in on the login page? Does the custom field have to be named a certain name?

Thanks .. That saved all 3 pieces .. but automatic filling did not work on the Account Key field .. Not a biggie on the Mac as I can hover over the 1Password entry from the 1P browser button and copy/paste the Account Key .. but I'm sure there is an easier way to do this ..

I was about to create a new thread about this, but I now see it's being covered here.

I too thought I'd be smart and create a Login item for my Families account. And I'm experiencing the same things, I think. Despite my own advice earlier in this thread to create a login manually, it doesn't work fully for me either.

If I save a Login manually in Firefox from my normal login screen for Families, the resulting Login records all three fields: email address, account key, and password. But the account key is recorded in its obscured state - a few of the characters followed by dots. It works fine when I return to the same page in the same browser, where the email address and obscured account key are already filled in.

But this doesn't seem very useful for what I might actually want this record to do. I would want it to log me in to my Families account from a fresh browser, one that hasn't already stored the Account Key. So, I edited the record to include the full account key. I then switched to Safari, which doesn't currently know my Account Key, and when I press ⌘\, it fills the email address and the password, but not the Account Key. Now I see from @penderworth that the account key doesn't fill. I think it should.

Incidentally, trying to save the login manually from Safari doesn't work at all. When I select the option in mini to do that, nothing happens.

Not only does the account key not fill, it also seems impossible to delete it from a browser that already knows it. When I try to highlight the account key to delete it, nothing happens. I can't highlight it. The same happens when I try to delete the email address - no soap. I can get empty fields if I click the option to use a different account. However, then the email address and the password are automatically filled in, but not the Account Key.

I guess this is how it is supposed to be, but because the account key is long and complex, it properly is something I am unlikely to remember. Maybe the assumption is that if I were going to a new browser on a different computer or a fresh installation on my own computer, I should have to type in the account key. I can, in fact, copy the key from 1Password and paste it into an empty account key field on a fresh browser. But I would have thought the Account key should autofill. It feels to me like 1Password has become 2Passwords with respect to its own Families login.

In real life, almost all the time, this won't matter much. I probably should just file these little facts away, perhaps in a Note in my Login item for Families, and stop obsessing about it.

Sorry for the long, rambling post. Perhaps it will illuminate the situation for someone else.

You'll want to click on "Switch Accounts" put in all your info including the full account key prior to saving the login .. I assume for security Agile is blanking out the account key. I also agree and would like to not have the account key to be automatically filled in and have 1P have the capability to enter both the Account Key AND Master password .. Kind of a dual authentication based on the Login entry in my local Primary Vault. Seems that protecting the Account key is as vital as protecting the password and I'm utilizing 1Password to keep all my stuff protected ;-)

Having 1Password fill in the Account Key seems to be browser dependent. For me, the Account Key is NOT filled in when using Chrome; however the Email, Account Key and Master Password fields all fill correctly when using the 1Password extension with Safari on a Mac. I have my family credentials stored in my local primary vault with all other logins, etc. stored in the Personal and Shared vaults with 1Password for Families.

Like your situation, my Account Key is listed in a "Security" section, but it's also listed under "Web Form Details" as a text field. I wonder why the program would have created your entry differently.

Just read with interest (one of the responses) that the account key is not passed while using Private Browsing.

I actually use Private Browsing by default on my Mac, and had previously reported how 1PW would not pass the account key when trying to log in to 1password-dot-com — and was acknowledged that it was an issue which would be looked at to rectify.

Forgive me if I hadn’t read the thread thoroughly enough, but what is the justification for not filling the account key given these scenarios?

Appreciate the thoughtful responses so far. But I’m still at a bit of a loss.

@penderworth thanks for the reply.
unfortunately seems not to work properly
i've inserted my account key but 1P for Mac doesn't fill user name (e-mail) and password.

@penderworth

Thanks for the note. I didn’t realise that this was something that’s still being considered.

I am using the 1Password for Mac client, so no worries there. What comes up as a question mark for me is why the account key is never filled in. Previously, I had an issue with getting into LinkedIn, and resolved it after doing a new entry into the database (obviously, something changed between the time that I originally saved it and when it stopped working).

Because 1Password is so convenient, whenever it doesn’t work, it raises a flag. It’s okay to copy-and-paste the account key from the app whenever I need to log in to the site, which is the time when I need to manage my Families account (which has been rather often of late!)

Cheers for the detailed response! :)

@brenty: Just dropped a response there. Thanks for looking out! :)

It would be really nice if the web app allowed to switch between multiple accounts on the family login page. As it is, only one family member can use 1password from the same computer/browser without having to reenter the account key on every login after switching the account. I can't use the Chrome password manager, because I don't want it to store the master keyword.
