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)
- full URL: the full host, port, and path

DenalB thanks for the feedback. Just thinking through this, I wonder if those two things would be mutually exclusive in your perception? I.e. are there situations where a hypothetical "don't show suggestions on this website" option would be useful and where the existing "Never fill on this website" wouldn't, or vice versa? For example one scenario I can think of is a website where you don't want some suggestions but not all. Whereas on some other sites (or maybe specific pages?), as you say, you might want to disable suggestions altogether. Curious about your thoughts.

@ag_Gabriele
Instead of having a settingNever fill on this website
in every login entry, it would be much better to decide on specific websites not to show any suggestions, like a blacklist or something. And I know that there is a long-awaited feature request for the extension, already. đ - TertiusSuper Contributor
@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.

@robochacho happy to hear! Let us know about your experience with these new features.
We haven't looked into allowing you to set a global default, however we'd like to hear more about bulk use-cases and see what we can do to help with that. Can you tell us more about the nature of the logins you'd be editing? I imagine the "only fill on this exact domain" behavior is only useful in certain situations, so would it make more sense to you to have a global default or a way to change specific items in bulk?

I'm trialing 1Password over a competitor and you have me as an instant customer if the new autofill features work well.
Question - will we have the ability to set a global default autofill behavior? Editing hundreds of logins sounds miserable or am I overlooking something?
- Former Member
Lovely! If you have any questions or feedback we're always here to listen.
Cheers,

Hey @ag_Gabriele !
Hope you get to try the setting again in the next beta, and let us know how it feels.
I'll do so. đThose known issues should most likely be fixed then.
I'm looking forward to these fixes. - Former Member
DenalB apologies, âneverââs actually only found in the nightly for now. If youâre on windows, you also wonât see the new setting under âadvancedâ because thatâs part of the Universal Autofill feature found on the macOS version only. Itâs not currently available on windows because we donât have the ability to support Universal Autofill there. By using the browser extension, you should get most of the mileage out of this feature.
Hope you get to try the setting again in the next beta, and let us know how it feels. Those known issues should most likely be fixed then.

Hey @ag_Gabriele !
and âneverâ which causes the item to never show as a suggestion on the specified URL
Sounds good. But I don't have a setting for "never". I'm using 1Password for Windows 8.9.11 (80911014).
It can be enabled in the betas, under Autofill settings in the extension and under advanced settings in the desktop app.
I have this setting in 1Password for Firefox beta 2.6.1, but not in 1Password for Windows 8.9.11 (80911014).
Maybe this setting appears in the next beta build for Windows. đ
Thereâs no risk to testing them out but youâll probably run into bugs like duplicated suggestions or suggestions for items youâve archived or recently deleted.
That's what I recognized already, and that's why I disabled the setting in the browser extension after trying for a day. đ

Both changes probably helped in different ways. Setting something to âonly fill on this exact domainâ wonât affect how it ranks in suggestions, just whether it displays or not. Although adding this as an extra signal to the ranking algorithm is something that might be worth considering.
