Hi steph_giles,
Ok, I am not able to recreate your temp solution though.
This is not for this specific page (just an example) but more in general.
I of course don't know how 1pw does its matching with the stored "username" and the corresponding field on a webpage but being able to fix when this doesn't happen by adding a custom field is a really neat way of getting autofill to work on webpages where the matching doesn't work. To "point" 1pw where to add the stored information.
For reference, I was doing this in the other pw manager, and it was able to match the data I entered with the field with the corresponding "id" tag. The same thing was possible for a "name" tag as well.
So, I guess adding a feature to 1pw to match HTML tags on webpages with data stored would be the user story.
