Am I expected to overwrite the "website 2" field?

Hello,

For many sites, I would like to add both a username and email address, and do not want to create a different section to store this additional information.

Is the correct way to do this to overwrite the "website 2" field (see screenshot). A bit confused as to why its not called "label - new field" like all the other generic customisable fields.

    Hi @deathwishdave,

    Thanks for writing in with your question about the fields in a Login item!

    The website fields in the top section of a Login item are meant only/specifically for website addresses. 1Password uses those fields to figure out which Login item matches the website you're currently viewing. When you save a Login item from the 1Password browser extension, it automatically fills the first website field with the address of the current website. In some cases, you might have a single website account that works on multiple sites, and that's what the other website fields are for.

    If you have extra details about a website account that you want to store in a Login item, you can add custom fields in another section. Or you can use the 'notes' field. It's up to you! ;)

    I hope that helps, but if you have more questions about that, please don't hesitate to let us know. Cheers! :)
