Trying to make Masked Email work

Hi,

I am excited about the Masked Email functionality, but I am having trouble making it work. I am using Safari for Mac. When I go to the signup form for LinkedIn and select the Email field, I get a menu that prompts me to select either a LinkedIn email/password, one of my identities, or Suggestions. If I select Suggestions I get these options: Logins, Identities, Credit Cards, Generated Password. I did link my 1Password account to my Fastmail account. Is there something else I need to do to get this option?

Thanks.

John

    Hi jbrayton, would you mind trying 1Password in the browser in a different browser on your Mac if you have one installed?

    I wasn't able to replicate this behavior using the sites you mentioned using Chrome and 1Password in the browser, so I'd just like to see if this is unique to Safari for you, or happening across all your browsers.

    Thanks!

    Hi @"jack.platten". I went to the registration flows for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and The Washington Post. The LinkedIn form is the one All I see in the newer Safari extension menu is my email addresses. I also installed the 1Password Early Access and looked on my.1password.com. Except for the ability to link to a Fastmail account from my.1password.com (which I did), I can't find any hint of an ability to generate a masked email address.

    jbrayton:

    Can you try going to a site and following the registration flow, instead of the change email flow? Right now, 1Password is only suggesting masked emails when creating new accounts, rather than changing emails, however there is a request filed to add the ability to update existing accounts to use a masked email, so I'll add your voice to the issue. :smile:

    Thank you, @"jack.platten". I did not know about the separate 1Password for Safari extension. I installed that and disabled the 1Password 7 extension. Now clicking the 1Password button in an email field lets me choose one of my current email addresses. I still don't see a Masked Email option. What else could I be missing?
