Request: Turn off username guessing in the apps [RESOLVED]

When I go to create a new login, the user name is prefilled with an email address I haven’t used in years. This shouldn’t have any email address, especially when I use Fastmail’s masked emails. I hope this is a bug and not a normal thing.

Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iPad 18.2 and iOS 18.2

    Hello everyone, 

    I'm happy to share that, with the latest update to the stable version of 1Password (8.10.78), our team has added a setting to turn off the prefilling of usernames when creating new items in the app:

    Note: If TestFlight says that the 1Password for iOS beta is currently full then you'll need to try to install the beta again later. Spaces do free up from time to time.

    @1P_Dave , is the TestFlight or 1Password for IOS rush chairman really particular this year? Just need to know where to send my referral letter so I can hopefully get a bid.

    Apple imposes a limit on the number of users that can be added to a TestFlight beta. However, users are dropped from the TestFlight if they're inactive for a certain amount of time which frees up spots for new folks to join the TestFlight. 🙂
