This is a needed feature, I'm actually considering switching to ProtonPass simply due to this integration, Fastmail is simply too expensive for what it offers.

I understand you are busy and likely have more pressing matters to address, but it has been 3 years and 1 month since the initial request for SimpleLogin integration that I've found. I acknowledge that SimpleLogin is now owned by Proton, a competitor of yours, but it should be easy to decide whether to integrate SimpleLogin support for your "Masked Email" feature. There are clear benefits to using an email alias service instead of relying solely on your personal email for everything. This decision should be even easier for you given the following:

1. SimpleLogin is open-source and can be self-hosted.
2. There is publicly available API documentation for every endpoint, making it extremely easy to integrate and a widely-used solution.
3. As the project can be self-hosted, any integration would require a field for users to input a SimpleLogin API URL. This would allow other email alias providers to create endpoints for a SimpleLogin-compatible API or, if they lack a compatible API, anyone could create a open-source middleware or adapter that could be deployed by anyone in one-click to Cloudflare Workers, for example, to receive requests from 1Password, parse them, make requests to the incompatible service, receive their response, transform it to match the SimpleLogin API specification, and return it to 1Password. Making every email alias service compatible with 1Password.
4. Matters related to security and privacy should not restrict users to a single vendor.
5. You understand the importance and benefits of using email aliases, so why would you not want to make it easier for people to start using them?

I understand there may be shared interests between Fastmail and 1Password's team, owners, or investors, and there may be a greater interest in not assisting your competitor, Proton, by implicitly recommending one of their products. However, please do not let these factors hinder the value of your product or cause the many users who have requested this feature to wait for another 3 years.

The fact that it has taken so long and we have not received any information probably indicates that there will be no implementation.
Even Bitwarden has an implementation.

However, Proton Pass has also gotten better and better. Simplelogin is fully implemented there.

@blaxxz, yeah, you're right, and I already pay for Proton Unlimited, so migrating would also save me money. However, there are some features I really love about 1Password. This is honestly the only major issue/frustration I have.

@peterfritz
Agreed.

I miss the Simplelogin and a Nickname Generator implementation.

Is there any news on this topic since 2022?

ProtonPass/Bitwarden + Simplelogin is a powerhouse solution that 1P really needs to catch up to.

Most people aren't interested in Fastmail because they want to keep their current email provider (e.g. Gmail). Unlike ProtonPass, 1P + FastMail is an additional cost, not a free integration.

At this stage, 1Password is only addressing half of the privacy and security concerns by just providing a password generator. But it does nothing for your username/email address which should also be anonymized/randomized.

Most database leaks have your email/username completely unencrypted so it's even more important that they should be random/unique for each account creation.

I'll be switching over to ProtonPass due to their FREE SimpleLogin integration once my 1P subscription runs out. That should give enough time for ProtonPass to catch up with some basic QoL features 1P has but none are as important as the email aliase feature on ProtonPass.
