1Password picks the wrong account credentials?

If there's only one account credential for a site in 1P then it's automatically selected. Makes sense. But why when I have three account credentials does it always automatically pick one of them and show "2 more available".

It's just for this one site (Facebook) and the default is, of course, not my own account but my son's. And then he freaks out when I have logged in to his account without him present. So either 1) How do I just have Facebook be just like every other multi-credential account or 2) specify that MY account should be the default? Thanks. Running the very latest version, btw, updated this morning...

  • Hi @d1taylor‌,

    Thanks for writing in. I think your best bet would be to mark your facebook account as a favorite. This should cause it to show up at the top of the list for the recommendations.

    I'm curious to know what you mean by "how do I just have facebook be just like every other multi-credential account"? Can you specify in which way they're different?

    Thanks for your response, Rick!

    There are many sites where I have more than one account - like Twitter - and 1Password properly displays all the options and lets me choose. On sites where I only have one account, it auto-fills in, which is ideal. On Facebook, even with the newest version, even with me marking my own account as a favorite (the star, right?), it still does this:

    As you can see, it's picking my son's account as the default and the other two FB accounts are "secondary" and not even shown directly in the menu as choices. If the default were my own account, that'd be fine, but having it be my son's account is definitely aggravating. Suggestions?

    Hi @d1taylor‌ It might be worth checking the website fields for all three Login items and making sure they all have the same URL in each. If one is different from the others that might explain why two are hidden and one is showing. Let us know how you get along with that.

    Nicely done, Bobby! I normalized all three to just be the URL http://www.facebook.com/ and now it does the right thing. Kudos!
