Question

Why doesn't it prompt to save sign in type when you Sign in With Google?

1Password added field type "Sign In with" and despite having tens of sites where sign in with Google is used 1Password completely ignores that.

It never prompts to save when you sign in with Google.
Why is it important? Because of confusion and time spent trying different accounts to sign in with. While there's a password manager that can't help with that.

If your answer is "just create the password entry yourself" -- well, it requires:

  1. opening 1Password,
  2. creating password Item,
  3. then type the site name because 1Password for some reason can't insert the site I am on and sarcastically displays example.com placeholder. Okay I will type it in or paste.
  4. Then scroll down and find "Sign in with" , click on that, and in dropdown find the required account. If you have apple accounts then you will have to scroll a lot to find Google accounts because it's sorted alphabetically. Why it's sorted alphabetically? because of the above- it's not important enough to 1Password and wasn't user-tested in real world.

There's nothing technically preventing 1Password from getting site URL and account used.

Hey there @DeppHeard 🙂

Thanks for the feedback on this feature!

The field type 'Sign in with' is meant to be used along with a newer feature for the 1Password in the browser (browser extension), which would prompt and allow you to sign in to the particular site with Google.

Currently, the feature is in the beta version of 1Password in the browser. If you'd like to try it out, here's a link to download that for Chrome:

I'm hopeful we'll have some more news to share on this new feature, so stay tuned into our https://releases.1password.com/ page for all the latest.

Let me know how things go testing the beta extension!

I am using the beta for months but never had any prompt about that.
