Creating masked email issues

Tonight I wanted to sign up for two new services, TopCashBack and ExpressVPN. On neither of these websites did 1Password for Windows 8.12.22 (81222017) ask me if I wanted to create a mask email. I had to stop twice and go to Fastmail WebUI login and create a mask email myself. This getting frustrating in that this is not the first time that this has happened. On prior occasions I just used my regular email because I could not be bothered to go through this procedure. 

There is no easy way of creating a masked email in 1Password and it has been requested numerous times, apparently.

    Hi Fedup​, thanks for reaching out about this, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    It sounds like the email fields on these sites may not be labelled in a way that 1Password recognises for the Masked Email prompt to appear. This is a known limitation with how the integration works currently.

    I can definitely understand how adding an easy and reliable method of generating a masked email with 1Password when it doesn't work from an email field would make things much more convenient, and I've filed your feedback with the team.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, let me know.
