Creating masked emails in the app?

Hi loopsided - thanks for the additional feedback - I've updated the feature request that Dave filed on your behalf to include these details.

Absolutely.

Another example, when I come across a sign-up or sign-in prompt within an application for which I don't yet have an account, if the application was designed correctly, it'll prompt me to use my password manager.

In that modal, 1Password lets me generate a password. But it only suggests using my private email address for the email field.

As I see it, the simplest way to solve this would be to offer to create a masked email whenever the focus in 1Password's app is on an email field (or next to any email text input box).

Thank you for that example. That doesn't appear to be a sign-up page which is why 1Password isn't suggesting a masked email address there. If you navigate to the sign-up page for withjoy.com and tap on the email field then 1Password will suggest a masked email address there.

By design, masked email aliases are only suggested on sign-up pages at the moment.

That being said, I can see how it would be useful to have 1Password generate a masked email alias on any page and I've filed a feature request on your behalf.

Here's an example where 1Password found an email field, but doesn't offer to create a masked email.

I'm well acquainted with Fastmail's application, as I constantly have to use it given that 1Password hardly ever suggests creating a masked email, but appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you for the feedback, I've let the team know that manually generating masked email aliases is something that is important to you. For the time being, I personally use the Fastmail iOS app to manually generate a masked email address if needed in a pinch.

Given that the browser extension hardly ever suggests to create a masked email when I'd like it to

I'm sorry to hear that 1Password in the browser isn't identifying places where it should be offering to generate a masked email alias. The next time that you come across one of these webpages, would you mind sharing the link to the webpage with me? I can file an issue to have our development team fix the issue on that page.

If you don't want to post the links on the public forum then you can send the link to support+forum@1Password.com and include a link to this forum thread. 🙂

Ah, I expected to be the first to report this.

Given that the browser extension hardly ever suggests to create a masked email when I'd like it to, this is particularly frustrating.

I'm even more disappointed now to learn 1Password has been asked to fix this problem several times over nearly two years.

But, I'm glad to learn that competitors have implemented this already.

I'll be cancelling my auto-renewal and switching over should this not be fixed when that time comes.

Thank you altaic1environs1lant - I've shared your feedback with the Product Team. 🙂

Adding my voice - longtime 1Password user but just moved from Simplelogin to Fastmail for masked email using custom domain.

Being able to generate the masked email directly in 1Password (like Proton Pass does) would be amazing...

Thank you, I've passed along your feedback to the team internally. 🙂

Hello, I would like to add my contribution to this thread, because the integration is currently broken.

Having to create manually an email alias in Fastmail most of the times make the whole point of the integration inoperant, and for me it looks like a beta feature, the integration should not be considered complete if we can’t create aliases manually in the 1Password app.

This integration has incredible potential, and it’s a very missed opportunity right now !
