Sorry I didn't mention this sooner but Convert to Login has landed in 1Password 8 Early Access! Just add a username to any Password item to convert it into a Login.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Thanks again for all the feedback 💜

roustem I needed it today.
A kludge it may be - but the alternative is to copy password / url etc, create new login with said password and delete old entry.
Typically happens when checking out of sites for first time as a guest and then getting asked for a password. - roustem

krusnof This is the main reason we have the early access program!
I use 1Password many times a day but I didn't need the "Convert To Login" feature in the past couple of years. I still think that "Convert to Login" is a kludge and ideally we'd figure out and fix the process that is causing the need for this feature to exist.
And this is true about many other features in 1Password 8. We are taking the major upgrade as an opportunity to rethink and improve the workflows that existed in 1Password for many years.

A bit of a delay from my end but agree that it's missing. roustem it still surprises me that you're so surprised that all the features missing are wanted by users! Like who did actually user feedback and test the 1PW8 since 2020? Not everyday users but only a few who're not using the product fully? My mind is boggled is how botched this EA launch is... Not caring about the Electron part even.
