Autosave for login, make update existing searchable
I love the new Autosave for login functionality! For now it works great and hopefully makes sure I don't forget so often to save my password :)
The update existing feature is also very nice but it pre populates the records it think it should update. But sometimes my item I want to update isn't in that list. Would it be possible to make that part searchable so I can actually find the item I want to update.
For example I have a user account (work) that is used accross multiple url's but when I login it doesn't recognise that account to save as the URL of the site doesn't match.
With the update existing I want to update the URL of the new site to match that existing record.

Thanks Dave,
That is indeed the work around I am already using :)
But I thought it would be a nice addition if we could leverage the update existing functionality to do this for us.
If we could "search" for the item we want to update with the new site that would make it easier. - 1P_Dave

Thank you for answering those questions. It sounds like the best option is to create one login item that contains all of the website URLs that you use those login credentials for. Then, 1Password will suggest and update that login item on all of the websites.
You can add a new website URL by following these steps:
- Open the 1Password app.
- Choose the login item with your credentials and click Edit.
- Click add another website.
- Enter the website URL and then click Save.
Let me know if that would work or if I've misunderstood the situation. 🙂

Thanks Evon for reaching back to me :)
Does the item you want to update contain a website URL address?
Yes it does contain a website URL but not yet the one I am filling in the password at that moment.
For example we have companySiteA.com and companySiteB.com both can use the same username/password but both are different URL's. When I login in at companySiteA.com I use the option create new item (as this mostly mean first time logging in with that account). But then when I want to login on companySiteB.com and I manually input the credentials it doesn't let me update the item I created on companySiteA.com.Does the work user account have a website URL attached to it?
Yes it does but can be used on multiple URL's. Which doesn't use the sub domain structureDoes the autosave prompt offer a different Login to update with the same URL?
Yes that it does but I would like to have an easy way to update an existing record which doesn't have that URL yet.When the Autosave prompt appears, are you able to click the "Edit" button instead to update the URL?
I think so I can edit the URL that I am currently on but I would like to add that URL to an already existing item in my vault.Thanks for helping me out! :)

Hello joeydriessen, thank you for writing in.
I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the new Autosave feature with 1Password in the browser and that it's working great! 🙂
I have a few questions if you don't mind. You mentioned:
But sometimes my item I want to update isn't in that list. Would it be possible to make that part searchable so I can actually find the item I want to update.
- Does the item you want to update contain a website URL address?
I have a user account (work) that is used accross multiple url's
- Does the work user account have a website URL attached to it?
- Does the autosave prompt offer a different Login to update with the same URL?
With the update existing I want to update the URL of the new site to match that existing record.
- When the Autosave prompt appears, are you able to click the "Edit" button instead to update the URL?
Any information you can share will help us narrow down the cause and guide you to a solution as quickly as possible. I look forward to your reply.
