Is it possible when creating a new login for the 'username/email address' field to be automatically filled with your main email address?

Hi @CBelle,
1Password does not automatically fill any fields anywhere without being asked to do so. This is by design, for your security.
However, if you have your main email address saved in an Identity item in 1Password, then you can select that Identity from the 1Password mini or extension to fill it quickly.
Another shortcut you could use to avoid typing out your whole email address every time is to use an application like Breevy or TextExpander (which I love) to create a custom keyboard shortcut.
Let us know if you'd like any further explanation of these options, or have any other questions we can answer for you. We're here to help. :)

Hi, @CBelle.
I happened upon this thread and if I'm reading your question correctly, I think @Vee misunderstood what you were asking. Normally when we talk about "filling fields", we're talking about 1Password's browser extension filling a form on a web page, so that's the direction she took. As she noted, the browser extension never fills information into a web page unless you tell it to.
It sounds, though, like you're asking if you can save a default email address to use as the "username" of any new Login items you create in 1Password. In that case, the answer would be a little different. We still don't provide that feature at this time, but it's not for security reasons. In fact, it doesn't sound like a bad idea, especially if the only way to create items were typing them out in 1Password.
The good news is that typing them out into 1Password isn't the only way! Actually, I hope you're not creating a lot of Login items directly in 1Password. The best way to create a Login is to let 1Password automatically save it for you when you log into a web site. That way 1Password knows more about the page and will be more likely to fill the form correctly the next time you need to sign in.
Anyway, I hope that helps! :)

Thanks for chiming in, @rob! You're absolutely right, I was thinking of the process of creating a new login from within the browser, rather than from scratch in the 1Password main app. Good catch!
