Creating masked emails in the app?

I started using Fastmail and the masked emails feature. It works great, until it doesn’t. If I can’t get the safari extensions to show the create masked email option (usually from poor website design), the only other option is to sign into Fastmail and create one from there and then I have to go back to 1Password to input it to there and then finally back to the website.

Why is there no way from within the app to generate these emails?

    The suggestion is the correct implementation for those 90% of times the web extension doesn't offer to create a masked email. At least we already have half the work done by creating a new login.

    I'm sorry that I don't have any updates to share. Personally I've been using the Fastmail iOS app in those rare instances where I have to manually create a masked email address and I've found that to work well. But I do agree that having an option inside of the 1Password app would be more convenient and your feedback is with the product team. 🙂

    Disappointed that there’s been no progress on this. Looks like Bitwarden is implementing the feature correctly

  • Hello joshmurphy! 👋

    Thank you for the feedback! We do have an existing feature request open to add the ability to generate a masked email address using the 1Password app and I'll add your vote there so that the product team is aware that this is something that you'd like to see. 🙂
