Suggestion enhancement: customize password field name

Hi folks,

I’d like to suggest an enhancement because the current workarounds I know of are a bit clunky.

When creating a Login (using the Chrome extension in my case), I can enter the username, password, and URL, which usually works fine. However, some websites don’t follow the usual conventions for field names.

For example:
https://atrium8.neotimm.com/extranet/#/login
(See screenshot of the Elements view below.)

This site is in French and uses what we jokingly call the “French exception”--I guess: the password field’s aria-label is mot de passe instead of password. The default autofill doesn’t populate the password field. However, if I add a custom field in the Login item titled mot de passe with my password, autofill works correctly.

My suggestion:
Allow customization of the password field title when creating a Login item. This would make handling non-standard sites much easier. I’ve run into this issue on multiple sites, and I believe a 1Password staff member once suggested the workaround.

If there’s a better approach, I’d love to hear it.

Cheers!

Hello, 

Could you please let me know how to apply this workaround?

Thanks.

Hi Marcelo,

Here is what usually works for me.

  1. On the field which is not auto-filling, right-click > Inspect (on chrome, should be similar with other browsers).
  2. In the inspector pane, locate the `id` or `aria-label` property of the `form` item for that field, and retain its value. The screenshot I added in my original post shows this.
  3. In your 1password Login item, add a password item, use the value from step 2 as its title, and your actual password  as its value.
  4. Save. Refresh the page and it should auto-fill correctly.

Hope that helps!

DISREGARD!

I have just realized i CAN change the name, from "Text" to "Domain".

Sorry !!!

 

 

 

 

Thanks.   I am not sure this is what i actually need.

I need to add a field to an entry.  The field is not a "Text, URL, Email, Address, etc..."  it is something else.  I am trying to add a new field that will be called "Domain", but i cannot find a way to change the field name or customize it. 
The entry already has a username, a license key, a password, a URL, etc.   I need to add a field to this entry.  I did not want to create a new entry with a "Title" = Domain.

any suggestions?  

TIA !!
