Autofill... domain matching choices?!? O. M. G.
Holy crap. It's here! Mostly!
It would be awesome if you had ONE more choice:
domain only: match as long as domain.com matched
host: the full host needs to match (i.e., sub.domain.com) ...

@robochacho Websites tend to change their hostname part. Often it is "www.somewebsite.com", but sometimes "www1.somewebsite.com" and more digits 1..9, "login.somewebsite.com", or just "somewebsite.com", or whatever prefix their admins choose. This prefix is changed now and then during the lifetime of the website, invisible to the user, so I feel the default ("fill anywhere") is just right - it ignores any prefix and matches just *.somewebsite.com. Otherwise, 1Password would just stop offering autofill if the prefix is changed behind the scenes, and you are suddenly locked out until you manually find that entry and correct it.
If you really have some website where you must match even the hostname part, you can change the matching. However, that's usually not the vast majority of entries.
