Feature Request: Generated User Names
Currently 1Password generates random passwords. I would like to request random user ids as well. Ideally this would allow the user to specify a pattern or domain that would be included in the random user id.
I own my own domain. This allows me to give every service a unique email address. I've been using a pattern for my login names that looks like domain@example.com so if I sign up for companyX they would get a domain like companyx@example.com.
I understand that this is probably not a typical use case but it is an incredibly powerful option when it comes to securing email logins as any given user would have a unique email address for every given service.

Well, we have at least two things in common. We both go by Ben, and we both do the
companyx@domain.tldthing. I'd love to have support for that in 1Password. I think there are likely a very small percentage of 1Password users that do this though, so I can't make any promises, other than to say I'll mention it to the rest of the team for consideration. :)Ben

Thanks Ben. I also think the user base is quite small as well but anything to make signing up for services easier :-).

You can use the password generator to create a string that you then use as your user name. I've done it once or twice using the word-based option with three words.

Thanks, danco, for that suggestion. I like it. :)

Hey @Ben I am a product manager at Anonyome Labs. I'm currently researching where the digital privacy/security industry is going regarding email/user names.
I see that there is a movement underway to make logins/email more anonymous. Best practice (for privacy) would be to provide a single use username/email per site, just like a password.
There are many privacy app/services beginning to offer email proxying for example. I see in 6 months most privacy tools will offer this service.
Right now it's a matter for the user to generate a user name in one browser extension, then generate a password in 1Password, then save both details.
In an ideal world there is pluggable interface in 1Password for this so that our shared user segments can interoperate their tools of choice, while using 1Password as the user interface. The majority of our users already use 1Password, I would love to connect to a PM/designer/researcher on your team in the browser extension area if one could spare the time?

+1 +1 +1! A thousand times yes. A popular competitor for this burnermail charges $40/yr. I would gladly pay that to 1P if they had the feature integrated.
