How to identify search criteria in order to create a new password item
I use Microsoft Remote Desktop to access a number of PCs from my iPad. I have each PC saved in the Remote Desktop app, but I want to save the credentials for each under a unique name in 1Password. When I tap on a particular PC in order to connect I get prompted for a username and password and I have the option to tap on “passwords” just above the keyboard. When I tap on passwords, it brings up a 1Password search screen (see attached) with no suggestions. There are no identifiers on the window to allow me to create an entry that might match the request so I have to type a search word that pulls up the correct password item.
Is there any way to know what is being passed to 1Password, if anything, that would help me know how to name a password item so I could choose it rather than having to search for it each time?
Thank you!

Hello @goyocafe! 👋
On the iPhone and iPad AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS through an Apple feature named iOS Password AutoFill and 1Password only provides the data for the experience. Password AutoFill will match the apps that you use to your login items in 1Password by taking the associated domain associated with an app and comparing it against the website URL in your login items. If there is a match then Password AutoFill will offer to fill your login information.
If your login item is not being suggested for a particular app then you'll need to add the app's associated domain to your login item in 1Password. When you tap on the username or password field in an app you'll see the Password AutoFill prompt appear (above your keyboard), tap on the prompt and then search for the appropriate login item. Then, tap on that Login Item and tap Fill & Update Login. 1Password will add the app’s associated domain to the Login Item so that, the next time you try to login to that app, Password AutoFill will suggest the right login.
If you don't see Fill & Update Login when you search for and tap on a Login Item then it means that the developer of that app hasn't added an associated domain and there is nothing for Password AutoFill to use to match the app to a Login item in 1Password. This means that you'll need to continue to search for the correct Login item when you login to a PC using Microsoft Remote Desktop.
