Add saved form fields in 1Password 8 to auto-fill secret key

In order to have 1Password's "secret key" (named account-key in HTML) auto-filled by 1Password, I would like to edit the login item and manually add account-key as a "saved form field". This, however, seems to be impossible.

I've tried to follow the instructions given here, but the .1pif file is just created as a new file item in 1Password:

I've tried to delete the login item to have 1Password re-create it, but since I have multiple login items for 1password.com, 1Password doesn't prompt to create it. I've checked "show auto-saved web details" in advanced settings to no avail:

Can someone please explain how I can have 1Password auto-fill "secret key" on the login screen?


1Password Version: 8.10.16
Extension Version: 2.15.1
OS Version: macOS 13.5.2
Browser: Firefox 117.0.1

  • Hey @asbjornu,

    In your 1Password do you have an item called 1Password account? If yes, does it have a concealed field in it containing your Secret Key?

    If yes, you should be able to fill that field by clicking on the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose 'Autofill' next to your 1Password account item.

    Let us know how you get on.

    I have several items called 1Password in my vault and all of them contain a concealed field called secret key or account-key. They are not auto-filled on 1Password.com, possibly because 1Password has no idea that they are form fields that should be auto-filled into the login form.

    Not the OP, but I have a single 1Password Account item in my Private vault containing a Secret Key field. It doesn't autofill on 1password.com using Brave/Chromium when clicking on the page, but it does when clicking autofill in the extension. All three fields used to get filled when clicking on the page, but since the login process has been split across two pages, the secret key hasn't autofilled with the other fields.

  • Hey @asbjornu,

    Are you able to fill the field by clicking on the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar followed by the 'Autofill' button within your 1Password account item as rootzero has suggested?

    Hi, steph_giles. Yes, that works. But I have to auto-fill twice. First to fill out the e-mail address, then after clicking "Continue" I have to auto-fill again to have all 3 fields (email, secret key and password) auto-filled. Very annoying!
