Auto saved web details?

So when I first began using 1Password I enabled the ability to see this info. I’d always purge it as it seemed like extra clutter and didn’t realize what it was used for. Now I do lol. Curious...

Hi klepp0906, thanks for this question!

Can you tell me a little more about what the auto-saved "web details" consisted of? Might it be the URL for a website, and that kind of thing?

Typically, when you use 1Password in your browser, there are a couple things that get saved into a login item all at once:

  1. The username
  2. The password
  3. The URL or web address of the website
  4. And typically it populates a custom icon for that website too

The first three items together - username, password, web address - are what allows 1Password to seamlessly log you into the website in the future. I hope that's helpful.

We'll be happy to talk more about item editing and history, but I just want to make sure I understand your question thoroughly before we go further.

Thanks again - we'll look forward to hearing from you!
