I would guess that there's probably a decent overlap of 1Password and ProtonMail customers. This year ProtonMail acquired https://simplelogin.io for masked email creation (https://simplelogin.io/blog/simplelogin-join-proton/) and I'm wondering how it could be made available in the same way as

Masked Email - Keep your real email address private. Automatically create new, random email addresses you can use when signing up to services online. Any emails from those services get sent right to your primary inbox. If you start receiving spam, you can block that address with a single click.

Across all providers 1Password needs a way to allow the user to specify the username portion of the masked email address when we use a custom domain that we own. For example, banking.787@mydomain.com.

Wouldn’t that be way less random?

@XIII I don't WANT random masked email usernames.

@XIII It would. But lots of people, myself included want both.

I have a SL domain I use for services I trust that little bit more. Then completely random ones for services I intend to use once or sign upto a newsletter (etc) So the ability to do both would be superb.

@Zaka7 Exactly! We need user choice. I personally don't use any random usernames for my custom domain.

I don't WANT random masked email usernames.

Looks like I don’t understand: if they are no longer random, what’s still masked?

@XIII My email address is masked.

I just upgraded to v8 after getting the EOL notice popup in v7, and discovered masked mail.
I would have expected protonmail to be at the very top of the list when agilebits looked for an initial email provider to pilot this feature with, but was sadly disappointed.

As someone else noted, there is indeed an overlap between 1password and protonmail customers. Agilebits seeks to offer the best password management solution out there, and has garnered a good reputation. Protonmail is your counterpart in that regard for secure and private email.

I can understand why you went with fastmail initially, since they have some thoughts about distinguishing themselves, and made a slight bet on privacy. However, please consider protonmail as your second provider, since that service is really the gold standard in terms of private and secure email (as much as a hosted one can be) where-as fastmail with its server-side unencrypted processing (and FISA court subjection) is far from being that.
