[Feature Request] Nickname Generator

Hello,

In addition to the password generator, I would also like to have a nickname generator.
This way you can protect your privacy and you don't have to worry about it.

How do you see it, would you also want this feature?

Greetings

  • Hey @blaxxz,

    Thank you for your suggestion, I'd be more than happy to pass it on the the team but first I have a couple of questions.

    Do you mean a feature to generate usernames for websites similar to using a masked email address? Can you provide me an example of a scenario where this would be useful?

    Thanks!

    Hey @steph.giles,

    Do you mean a feature to generate usernames for websites similar to using a masked email address?
    I don't know exactly how the function works. A simple nickname generation integrated into 1Password.

    With which I can quickly and easily create a username for a forum etc. So you don't have to worry about it. You would be traveling everywhere with a different username and there would be no conclusions about your identity.

    Even if data is stolen, I have a unique username, just like the password.

    data protection and privacy

    One of your competitors solved it well.

    Thank you for those details. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request for a username/nickname generator with our product team on your behalf. 🙂

    Absolute necessity to aid in quickly registering for sites without revealing personal info. My current processes is to use a website that generators random usernames to do this. Would like the convenience of doing it alongside password generation with a click.

    Usernames should be just as random and forgettable as passwords. Live and die by the password vault...so please add this feature alongside your already existing password generator!

  • @boxcatdisc

    You may be able to do this with a workaround. I've create a login and named it interestingly enough "My username generator" I've saved it as a favorite.

    I went this route because I can set the generator to a memorable password. I've also favorited it for quick access. Additionally, you'll get a username history saved in the password history section.

    I'll let the team know you're interested in a dedicated feature.

    Not a valid username. Used for this example only.

    @ag_tommy I’ll try that workaround. Ultimately looking for the same functionality where you click in the field and are provided a randomly generated username recommendation

    Gotcha my friend. I've already made the necessary notations for the team. It would alleviate my workaround so I'm right there with you. 😀

    @ag_tommy
    But is it a feature you are aiming for?

  • @blaxxz

    We tend to play things pretty close to the chest when it comes to new features and we're not able to give updates on when, or if, a feature is going to be implemented.

    For the time being, using the username generator on our website is the best option: Strong, Random Username Generator

    @Dave_1P
    This username generator looks like a password generator to me

  • Yes, that's what it is at the heart.

    have to drop a +1 here. considering the fastmail integration which affords random emails, random usernames is all we are missing. from what I understand this has long been present in some of the other players in the space.

    heres to hoping.

    Sadly we don't hear anything about these Features

    As you said, other competitors have these features.

  • @klepp0906

    Thanks for sharing that feedback. I've shared your request with our Product team.
