Being prompted to create an entry on a registration form

richardw

When I'm signing up for a website and submit the form, 1Password will ask me whether I want to create a new entry based off what I entered. I'm concerned about whether this works well though, and so currently I logout and login again, and then when prompted by 1P again I create the entry.

The problem I have is that 1P picks up the registration link when I create from there, so if I autofill when I'm not at the site, it'll send me to that page. I also think I encountered something strange when autofilling a login page from registration details a while ago, but don't remember what exactly happened as it was a while back.

Is the recommendation to create the entry at the login page? I feel that makes the workflow for making accounts on websites not very straightforward, but if it'll keep the magic of autofill working as expected I'll stick with it.

Hi @richardw,

It sounds to me like you're doing things just about right here. Unfortunately, creating a Login via the registration page isn't the most straightforward process. Here are some options:

• Save the Login from the registration page when 1Password prompts you to, and then update the Login with the sign-in URL later.
• Save the Login from the registration page (just so you have all your details) then Save a new Login manually from the sign-in page, and remove the original.

Personally, I do think it would be wonderful if 1Password could substitute the registration page for the sign-in page, but due to the infinite variety of website design, i think we're stuck with these steps for a while. ;)

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any further questions!
