1Password with Emails

Upon looking at switching to 1Password from Dashlane for the improved security and additional login fields that are provided, I noticed some differences with how 1Password autofills emails.

In Dashlane one of the things you can do, is save your email as it's own field. Now while I have figured out how to do this in 1Password 8 Beta for MacOS, it didn't work too well in 1Password 7 as it by default added a country to the identity which kind of defeated the purpose. For example, I create a new identity called "John Doe - Email", then in the email field save "mailto:johndoe@example.com". I have tested that an email added like this can used to sign up for a site and it works so that's great.

Now to come to my main point of my discussion, is the "username" field that should actually be the email field. In my opinion, with the current way that signing up for sites work, email and usernames are two different things. Take instagram for example, you have a username which is displayed, and an email which is private. Now where this becomes an issue, is when I attempt to sign up for a site like Instagram, and it suggests an email for the "username" option. Another issue (I've so far only found on Instagram), is that when you try autofill the "email" option nothing pops up. This happens with both 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 Beta. This may be an issue with the browser I am choosing to use, Brave.

Thanks for your time, I hope these bugs/feature requests will be taken into account.
