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

We've been tracking sites where the masked email feature is not being presented, as expected. I'll be sure to add theguardian.com to the list of sites affected by this. In the meantime, the best way to achieve this is to create a masked email directly from Fastmail and pasting it into the fields. I realize this is not ideal, but should allow you to change your contact info for the guardian.com accordingly.

Ok thanks @ag_yaron. I might wait for 1Password 8. I rather like touch ID for unlocking!

Hey @sddawson ,
You don't need to uninstall the current extension, just disable it in Safari's preferences and install "1Password for Safari" from the Mac App Store.
The ramifications are exactly what you thought - you will have to unlock the extension separately from the desktop app (with your password, not Touch ID). - Former Member
Can I also clear something up here? I’m running the standard 1P extension in Safari. Does this mean I should uninstall that extension, and install the different one mentioned above, even though I’m using 1P v7? What are the ramifications of doing that? Is it just that the extension is no longer linked to the desktop app, so needs to be unlocked separately etc?

That worked. Thank you, @"jack.platten"!

Hi jbrayton,
Thanks for checking that for me. Would you mind trying something else for me? --
- Disable the integration in Fastmail by selecting "Review access" in the 1Password row, then "Remove access": https://www.fastmail.com/settings/masked
- Disable the integration in 1Password, by selecting the Fastmail entry, then "Deactivate Fastmail" : https://my.1password.com/integrations/active
- Enable the integration in Fastmail: https://www.fastmail.com/settings/masked
- After signing in to 1Password again to confirm the integration, verify that your Fastmail email address is shown in the Integration directory again: https://my.1password.com/integrations/active
At this point, the option for "Create masked email" should be visible on the LinkedIn sign up page you've provided.

I see the same with Chrome. I attached a screenshot with my email addresses partially blocked out.
