Autofill in Safari: specifics of field filling; selecting from a dropdown-menu field

Hello wills11, thank you for your writing in. I appreciate the details you shared, it's very helpful.

I tried testing the website you shared, but I'm not able to access it.

You mentioned:

Why does it autofilling both fields with whatever "username" is set to, never using the data in the "password" field? And why, given my custom text fields, does 1P correctly autofill the "Find your library" field with "LIB", but leave the "Enter Library card number" field filled with the "username" data?

This all depends on how those fields are labeled in the page structure. 1Password detects the fields htmlID, htmlName, etc to autofill and the more details a field has, the better it is for 1Password in the browser to detect them for autofill.

In short: is there a more elegant way to get the result I want?

Is the "username" field used to autofill for a different (previous) form? If so, I'd suggest the following:

1. Edit your Login item.
2. Click "+ add more" and select "text".
3. Change the "text" title to "username", then enter your username below it.
4. Clear the original "username" field, then click "Save".

is there any way to get 1P to actually select an option from a dropdown list, rather than just adding text?

Can you try to save the Login item through the browser extension, while that option is selected? Here's how:

1. Navigate to the form.
2. Select the option from the drop down menu and enter your card number in the field below it.
3. Right-click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and select "Save Login". Then save it as a new item. (This is just to check if 1Password in the browser can save that dropdown option, which is why we're creating a new Login item.)
4. Refresh the page, then select the new Login item to autofill.

Let me know how that goes, wills11.
