Multiple Gmail accounts conundrum

Options

Hi I have four different Gmail accounts including both personal and work email addresses. How can I get 1Password to identify which username I have clicked on? It always chooses different password rather than current Gmail username I have clicked on. Thank you.

    Hi @ankitanks!

    I also have multiple Gmail accounts, and 1Password here is remembering what username I chose during login, so it is filling the correct password for me. Can you please give us some more information about your system?

    Hi @ankitanks

    Thanks for the additional information. I would recommend re-saving these Gmail login items using this procedure:

    Sign in to websites with username and password split across multiple pages

    When I save Gmail logins that way they always seem to link up correctly. Please let me know how that turns out.

    Ok I will try it out. How important is unique name if I follow this method? I have two email for work, two private. Will name "Gmail" be ok or all four log ins need different names?

    @ankitanks:

    I would first assign a unique login name as per the instructions to get this to work for you. Once you confirm that things are working fine for you, you can try naming all of them Gmail and seeing if things still work as expected for you.

    Ok I followed instructions, resaved all logins with four different unique names. 1Password still doesn't recognise my user name that I have selected in Gmail. I have tried Google - Primary, Google - Secondary, Google - Primary1, Google - Secondary1 across two different vaults. 1Password still selects the last selected login out of four.

    Can anyone help please?

  • @ankitanks

    I am not sure that I can help or provide anything useful to this discussion. For years now, I have used the locate my login method, usually by placing something memorable in the title. e.g., gmail-tom, or gmail-son1.

    I have done what ben and ana suggested. Gmail is quite popular service so I am just baffled that it is not working even with unique login name.

    Hey @ankitanks ,
    I think we're misunderstanding you here.

    We thought you wanted 1Password to remember which login you used when you autofilled the username field, so that when you reach the password field it would already be selected and you won't have to pick the relevant login again from the list.

    However, reading your conversation here again, it sounds like you want 1Password to identify which email you are trying to log into in gmail automatically, and select that login from the four options you have instead of highlighting the last one you used. Is that correct?
