Autofill of street with/without house number

If I want to enter my name and address to some web form, 1Password offers me to autofill with my identity entry. In general, this works fine.
With one issue: many websites have separate fields for street name and house number. 1Password never recognizes this. It always fills street name and house number both into the street name field. The house number field always stays empty.

If 1Password is supposed to handle 2 separate fields, it doesn't do this for me. My house number is a number like 12-14, that means it's not a pure number but has a hyphen in it.

In the 1Password editor of my identity entry, in the "Address" field I entered my address like this:

My Street Name 12-14
12345
City name
Germany


1Password Version: 80500071, im Kanal „NIGHTLY“
Extension Version: Chrome, Version 2.2.0
OS Version: Windows 10

    Hey,
    I came here to ask exactly the same question. Here in Germany, every website has separate fields for street and house numbers. This means I must correct this every time I use the autofill feature. It would be great if you could implement two separate fields. Thanks a lot! Steffen

    Another example: https://www.gamestar.de/kalender/xmas2022,10/ (This one actually behaves even more oddly)

    In Germany (probably all of Europe) this is really common, so I'd like to add on the emphasis here. It's really annoying to have a tool at hand that actually fills in the data for you, but does it wrong in 4 of 5 cases...

    Hi Jack_P_1P
    I would like to re-emphathize the issue drawn up ny Former Member
    It might not be of importance for you guys in the US/Canada but here in Europe a separate field for house numbers a very common. It would be such a time saver if 1P could detect these fields and fill them in appropriately.
    Thanks for considering!

    Hey Former Member:

    Thanks for your example. There is an issue to improve this in the future, so I've added your input as well.

    For example here:
    https://dslshop.vodafone.de/eshop/business/enterprise-locator/index.html
    https://www.telekom.de/netz/dsl-vdsl-lte-verfuegbarkeit

    To find more of these websites, google for "deutschland dsl verfügbarkeit" and you find a huge number of such forms.
    In addition, most of these websites who check the availability of broadband internet in Germany ask the data in a very restricted way, so you aren't able to enter an address that doesn't exist in their databases. I bet it's a chore to make 1Password autofill these. However, the first url above is freeform without such javascript-supported input check.

    Hey there @tertius3, sorry about the difficulty there! I'll admit that I haven't personally come across a website that has a separate field for the house number - could you send me an example or two? I'll take a few swings at it to see if I can convince the 1Password extension to fill in a house number, and if not we can file something for the Development team to look into. :smile: Thanks!
