Case insensitive tags

Hi Netpog,

Excellent, glad to hear it's appearing in the browser extension! Since this feature depends on password rules provided by a website, it's by design that it isn't part of the 1Password desktop apps. 😊

YES, andrew_l_1P, and thanks for the directions: I see it right there in the browser extension. (And, FWIW, "Smart Password" was already the default.) I do **NOT **see it in the app, however.

(I'm running 1Password for Windows 8.10.1 (81001002) on nightly channel.)

Hi Netpog,

You can find the "Smart Password" type within the password generator itself:

Selecting it from the Type dropdown list will automatically set it to your default suggestion type. Though keep in mind we'll still be at the mercy of how each website is built and whether they include their password rules in that process.

And I'm glad to hear there's some light at the end of the tunnel, thanks clarino! 🙂

Netpog, I don't know about previous behavior but I have a 15-char password on ssa.gov and it works just fine.

Hi, andrew_l_1P. To each of the issues:

Smart Password:
I don't think I've ever seen it offered, only the "use suggested password" option.

But I could be wrong. Have you a test website or two that I can try?

(I'm using Microsoft Edge, Version 109.0.1518.70 (Official build) (64-bit), on stock Windows 10 Pro.)

Capitalization:
I've spent enough time with hardcore Linux types (and Unix types, because I'm old) to appreciate how passionate they can get about "the right way"! And in that world, case sensitivity is one their few universal norms.

Password policies:
* It's TransUnion that truncates the password to 15 characters, AFTER accepting a longer one.
* Another fun one: The IRS payment site (eftps.com) which will reject doubled letters.
* The most stupid password rules ever have been collected by Pershing bank, who enforces them all. Some of their services (at least) insist on passwords of exactly 8 characters. (Because it's the early 1980s, I guess.)
* SSA.gov used to insist on exactly 8-character passwords, but maybe they got over it?

Hi Netpog,

The Smart Password type is part of the 1Password browser extension, if you're not seeing it in the password generator there, could you tell me which browser you're using?

I appreciate your insight about capitalization in tags as well! I've never come across a website like the one you describe, a part of me hopes I never do. 😄

andrew_l_1P , I love Smart Password! I'm regularly having to adjust settings to fit site-specific requirements.(*)

Is this coming to 1Pwd for Windows?

Also, while case-insensitive tags makes perfect sense to ME, I'm sure that if you make this change you'll hear from angry Linux users and others who expect case sensitivity, and have become reliant upon it in their 1Password tagging habits.

So, I urge you to MAKE INSENSITIVITY AN OPTION if you enable it at all.

(*) My favorite are the sites that accept 24-character passwords, but then reject your login unless you use exactly the first 15 of those characters! But I don't expect you to detect THOSE idjits!

Happy to help! 🙂

Thanks for the tips.

Hi @dChip,

Thanks for all this feedback. I'll record these and share them with our Product team for further consideration. I can't make any promises but I appreciate you taking the time to let us know these are important to you.

Regarding batch editing tags, I do want to highlight that you can select multiple items by holding shift or command and then dragging those items onto a tag in the sidebar to assign it. I recognize this only applies to adding tags but hopefully it can reduce some friction in the meantime.

If you haven't already, I also encourage you to explore the "Smart Password" option when generating passwords. If a website has provided password rules in how its built, this option will detect that and use those parameters to generate an acceptable password:

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
