Easier way to change the existing account email to Masked Email

Hey @cmeury! I agree that having a way to generate masked emails outside of the sign up form is important. I will share your thoughts on this with our developers. Hopefully this is something that we can improve on in the future.

Please don't hesitate to reach out again if you have any other questions!

I switched from LastPass to 1Password specifically for this feature, but it certainly lacks in functionality. If the prompt doesn't show up on a registration form, there is no way to generate a masked email. I would like to manually trigger this, or have the option in the extension or native app.
Concrete case was: https://www.dropout.tv/checkout/subscribe/purchase

Hey @bugs ,
That's not exactly a problem. You can keep the username field empty, 1Password will still autofill your masked email in the username field when needed.

Is that what you're referring to?

The problem is that most of the time the masked email IS your user name, there is not a separate entry. Plus. when you create a masked email, there is no way to automatically copy it even if you are in the app to make it your username. Is that clear? This happens over and over.

Hey mafm27:

We don't have any specifics just yet to share. Thanks for your patience!

Any news regarding better support to updating accounts @ag_yaron ? Even just being able to generate a masked email without having to browse FM settings would be alright.

Glad I could help :+1:

Thank you @ag_yaron that is good to know

I haven't had the best experience using the 1Password for Safari extensions on iOS and iPadOS

If the Masked Email feature is not available using the 1P application (rather than the Safari extensions) then I will probably continue using my homespun solution (which I have been doing for 20 years, and which was made simpler since I adopted 1P version 4 whenever that was. One great thing about being older is you can play the "I've been doing it 20 years" card :D )

@AndrewParker You can still generate masked emails directly in Fastmail and manually use them in 1Password, which would work the same except it will take a couple of extra clicks :)

When you sign up for a new website, 1Password will do the job for you, but when you want to change an existing login's email address, create a masked email directly in your Fastmail account and add it to your login entry in 1Password.
