There is an Identities category in 1P. I don't use, and I was wondering what other people use it for? Maybe I should be using it. Advice welcome!

    The Identities category, like the Logins category will fill for you the relevant information on a web page, so can be useful like that. I confess I've not used it in that way—but I do find it really useful to put together all my relevant personal information. I also run a small residential management company and the details of that comprise another "identity".

    For instance, if I am making a purchase, it provides a shortcut to filling in name, address, phone number.

    Hi @danco‌ and @Stephen_C‌,

    Identities are especially useful when you sign up (register) to a new service. Usually you are being asked to enter you full name, date of birth, home address, phone number, etc. Filling with an existing identity can be quite useful in this case.

    If you wish to see how Identities fill, you can add the demo vault in 1Password for Mac, then go to any registration form on the internet and fill using one of the Identities in the demo vault.

    Hope that this helps :wink:

    Cheers!
