How to handle umbrella/multiple/associated logins?
Example that I just ran across that finally led me here is the merger of disney+ and hulu. I used to have two separate logins, two separate passwords etc. Life was good. Then they had to go complicate things.
Another example is fanbyte. They (zam) own wowhead as well and I believe a few others. fanbyte and wowhead now share the same username and password. change one, cant log into the other until you update the password there.
Last but not least, atlassian. I'll undoubtedly run into more but for now their login also covers bitbucket and trello.
I cant have all these sites with separate login entries as they share a password so not only would a password update wreak havoc on the others, but the passwords would all trigger the double/same password warning.
Is the only solution in these cases to use 1 login entry and add all the websites it is for under that same entry?
Just checking to see if this is what everyone else is doing for these cases?

Yes, that's the solution. For all logins that share the same username and password, create only one 1Password item and add all the different website urls into it.
With many of these merging websites you will see that in the future they will redirect the login dialog to some common url, so they are not distinct any more. Microsoft does this with account.microsoft.com for all their services. Or they merge their service and one website will vanish while the other will stay. In both cases you're able to clean up that entry later and need to keep only one url in the end.

Hello @klepp0906,
@Tertius3 is correct, using one login with each website's URL saved to that single login is the best way to handle this situation. Thanks for the assist! 👍
