Confirm Password Forms

We have a "sudo mode" form similar to GitHub which requires confirming your password for sensitive actions:

I have several accounts. I'm trying to tell 1Password which password to use.

I have followed the instructions here:

https://developer.1password.com/docs/web/compatible-website-design#password-change-and-reset-forms

And added a hidden username field:

But this doesn't seem to help. If I un-hide the username then if I select the username field it offers to fill the right account. But if I select the password field it just displays all accounts again.

How can I tell 1Password which account to use in this form?

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. I have done my best to search and came up empty.

Hi @sj26 ,

Thanks for being patient on this one. As of right now, I do not have a positive answer on this one.  There isn't a way to indicate to 1Password which account to use from the web form.

I'll let you know if I hear otherwise.

Thanks, Phil

Thanks for your efforts Phil, but it is disappointing there is no solution.

1Password used to be a wonderfully reliable, innovative, developer friendly product. As a developer, I can imagine exactly how to build this feature. I hope to see 1Password restore innovation and a return to the reliable resiliency of the original product.
