Question

strict host/subdomain for web logins

I'm sure this has been asked before, but a search didn't turn up anything useful.

Is there a way to configure a specific login item to strictly match a fully qualified domain, to include the host and/or subdomain part?

An example is slack.com where every slack gets its own subdomain. I might want one login to only autofill on my_company.slack.com, and another to ONLY autofill on my_friends.slack.com.

In most cases, I would want loose subdomain matching, but for a few cases, like the above, strict matching would be great.

I feel like there was a way to configure this in the past, but I'm not seeing it in the latest version of 1Password (and 1Password for Safari).


1Password Version: 8.7.0

+1 from me.

As well as development sites, authentication providers like auth0.com are making this more and more of an issue.

I am using version 8 on Mac, iOS and iPad. It does seem like 1Password's previous versions used to have something along these lines, see for example https://1password.community/discussion/35185/problems-with-subdomains

Adding another +1 for this feature. My work has two Okta SSO systems for corporate systems where employees are the users vs. operational things where our customers are the users. Every time I try to log in on the ops okta, I have to choose the one whose URL is an exact match!

Even if you show all matching URLs, couldn't you order them such that the "best" match is the top choice?

we're in a great position to deliver yet more features and improvements and general goodness to make 1Password even more useful for you.

@1P_PeterG and yet it's been 5 months now since you've posted this, and NOT A SINGLE THING that you keep saying you're "actively working on" has been delivered. It's pretty obvious that you uttered this blatant nonsense without any intent to follow through.

Another vote for this feature.

My example is bibliocommons.com. Many public libraries have sub-domains off this address, each with separate logins. E.g. https://kcls.bibliocommons.com, https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/, etc.

Hi 1Password team – any movement on this?

We're looking at a team-wide move to 1Password but like many others in this thread, we have hundreds of logins that share the same top level domain.

Being able to enforce strict subdomain matching would be a big win for our team members who have been accustomed to this feature in other password managers.

Adding a big +1 to this, in the process of moving over from Bitwarden and surprised this isn't already here, it seems to be the main thing BW still has on 1P

Hey @ctry,

There are now some advanced domain matching options in the latest Beta to give you the option per item to 'Only fill on this exact domain' or 'Fill anywhere on this website'.

If you are interested in giving it a go, here are instructions on how to switch to the Beta: https://support.1password.com/betas/.

Once you have done this you can find the new options by editing an item in your 1Password app and clicking on the sort icon within the website field.

I hope this helps!

@steph_giles - this is good news, and I've been in the BETA channel for years, but there's no "active" beta apparently right now, so I can't see this. On macOS 12.15.7, 1P 1Password for Mac 8.9.12 (80912010). Checking for available updates shows no new versions, BETA or otherwise.

However, I would say that I would much prefer that items get sorted by "closeness" to the current website URL, rather than having to edit each URL to specify "only fill on exactly this domain". That's going to be a lot of work for the 1000s (yes, that many) of entries I have.
