Creating new item should auto-suggest your email address as username

Hi 1password,

When creating new items, I think it'd be a huge improvement in usability if we could autocomplete / auto-suggest the username field.

The normal flow for me is:

  1. Visit a website
  2. Click "fill" in 1password, realize I don't have an existing login created yet in 1password
  3. Create a new login
  4. Manually type my email address or usually a standard permutation of my name as a username (99% of the time, the username field is either firstname.lastname@gmail.com, firstnamelastname, or firstnamelastname1 depending on the website's requirements)
  5. Autogen a password
  6. Save & Fill

I think step 4 above has high potential to reduce the amount of clicking/typing necessary – we could add a few auto-suggested usernames (either sourced from the last few recently created logins, or allow users to define suggestions manually) on this screen to avoid manually typing your email / common username each time:

This is most painful on mobile as it's slower to type (and you're more likely to be in a rush on your phone) but I think it could work on both mobile & desktop.

Thanks!

  • Hi @kevinschaich

    Thanks for the suggestion. We agree - this is something we had in 1Password for iOS at one point and it appears that a bug somewhere (perhaps not in 1Password) is currently preventing it from working. Hopefully that can be fixed up relatively soon and this will start working as expected again. :+1:

    We don't have anything new to share about this at the moment since last month. Please keep an eye out on the release notes for all the updates.
