3 years agoFeature Request: SimpleLogin Integration
The Masked Email feature is a great idea but the downside is it’s limited to Fastmail. It would be great to have SimpleLogin integration so non-Fastmail users could take advantage of Masked Email.

ProtonPass/Bitwarden + Simplelogin is a powerhouse solution that 1P really needs to catch up to.
Most people aren't interested in Fastmail because they want to keep their current email provider (e.g. Gmail). Unlike ProtonPass, 1P + FastMail is an additional cost, not a free integration.
At this stage, 1Password is only addressing half of the privacy and security concerns by just providing a password generator. But it does nothing for your username/email address which should also be anonymized/randomized.
Most database leaks have your email/username completely unencrypted so it's even more important that they should be random/unique for each account creation.
I'll be switching over to ProtonPass due to their FREE SimpleLogin integration once my 1P subscription runs out. That should give enough time for ProtonPass to catch up with some basic QoL features 1P has but none are as important as the email aliase feature on ProtonPass.

Just adding my 2cents here and as a community please can we get an update & not just the usual "your vote has been added"...
There are A LOT of votes and requests since July '22 and we are now in Sep '23. Surely the minds at 1Password have figured this out after 14 months or are we just going to continue voting for something that may eventually either happen or not? Just be honest with us!

This is a needed feature, I'm actually considering switching to ProtonPass simply due to this integration, Fastmail is simply too expensive for what it offers.

I understand you are busy and likely have more pressing matters to address, but it has been 3 years and 1 month since the initial request for SimpleLogin integration that I've found. I acknowledge that SimpleLogin is now owned by Proton, a competitor of yours, but it should be easy to decide whether to integrate SimpleLogin support for your "Masked Email" feature. There are clear benefits to using an email alias service instead of relying solely on your personal email for everything. This decision should be even easier for you given the following:
- SimpleLogin is open-source and can be self-hosted.
- There is publicly available API documentation for every endpoint, making it extremely easy to integrate and a widely-used solution.
- As the project can be self-hosted, any integration would require a field for users to input a SimpleLogin API URL. This would allow other email alias providers to create endpoints for a SimpleLogin-compatible API or, if they lack a compatible API, anyone could create a open-source middleware or adapter that could be deployed by anyone in one-click to Cloudflare Workers, for example, to receive requests from 1Password, parse them, make requests to the incompatible service, receive their response, transform it to match the SimpleLogin API specification, and return it to 1Password. Making every email alias service compatible with 1Password.
- Matters related to security and privacy should not restrict users to a single vendor.
- You understand the importance and benefits of using email aliases, so why would you not want to make it easier for people to start using them?
I understand there may be shared interests between Fastmail and 1Password's team, owners, or investors, and there may be a greater interest in not assisting your competitor, Proton, by implicitly recommending one of their products. However, please do not let these factors hinder the value of your product or cause the many users who have requested this feature to wait for another 3 years.

Adding my vote. Please provide an update that it is being looked into or not.

vealpool Proton definitely allows this integration to happen. For one, SimpleLogin is open source, and with 1Password's large user base, Proton would certainly benefit from this.
I suspect that either they have prioritized other changes or, through a survey or some other metric, determined that there isn't enough demand for it. Alternatively, it’s possible that someone within the organization is opposed to this integration, so it just won't happen any time soon.

I also want to +1 this idea! This would improve my work flow so much

I tried it with 1Password but don't like it as much as Simplelogin. I don't need a new mailbox service with all the bells and whistles just aliases.

I am adding my name to the list requesting the integration with SimpleLogin. As a ProtonMail user, SL is provided as a free service add-on. It's so easy to use and just works. Hopefully, 1Password can see their way to add it.

Now that Proton has released their Password manager and it has this feature. As someone with A Proton Unlimited & 1Password Subscription, I am begging you to release this feature. Pretty please :)
