2 months agoI am following up on the original request from four years ago regarding the "username" field behavior when creating a new entry. I want to add my voice to this feedback.
This specific behavior is extremely disruptive and, for me, turns what should be a seamless experience into a point of frustration.
The Problem with "Current Suggestions":
- The core issue is that the app suggests previously used usernames from my vault when creating a new login entry. In modern security practice, the standard is to use a unique username for every single service, or at least to let the password manager generate one (like an email alias).
- Therefore, suggesting an already used username for a new account is not just unhelpful, it actively promotes poor security habits.
Proposed Solution
- This behavior should be an opt-in feature
- ... or, ideally, removed entirely from the new entry creation flow
1Password is an outstanding product, but this "feature" significantly hinders the creation of new items. I strongly urge the team to prioritize addressing this user experience issue.
