5 years agoEasier way to change the existing account email to Masked Email
Masked Email is very easy to use, but can it be more convenient to generate this kind of random email for the existing account saved in the 1Password? It seems that this feature will only be prompted when creating a new account.

Thank goodness I came to read the support community before jumping in and buying a Fastmail subscription.
Like 1P for Safari on iOS/iPadOS, Masked Email appears to be more new "stuff" from 1P which aren't truly ready, yet have been released - Former Member
Thanks for the clarification Manaburner ,
As I mentioned, the new masked email feature is currently only useable when signing up for new websites, not for when you want to change an email address of an existing account.
However, we're looking into how we can add that feature to also work for changing emails in existing accounts :)

The difference is I changed the email address for an already existing account. You create a new one

Hey Manaburner ,
I just tested it again and recorded a video: http://recordit.co/eMqR9VvjkZ
What exactly is different in your process? Do you not get a password suggestion in the new password field? Or does clicking on it not bringing up the save prompt?

Hi @ag_yaron
No unfortunately not. - Former Member
Hey Manaburner ,
1Password will suggest new masked emails on registration forms on websites where you want to sign up for. After you generate a new email and generate a new password, you should be prompted to save it as a new login. Did that not happen?

FWIW I just changed my email address on ups.com and created a masked email there. Problem was, the masked email was nowhere to be found in 1Password. I was able to use "Fill in masked email", but had to manually save the login. Now the result is that it's treated like a regular email, i.e. there's no FM icon or the option to block the masked email.

I can definitely see the value of being able to generate an alias directly from 1Password for native apps. While I can't say for sure when or if this will be available, I've shared your feature request with the appropriate team so they can take it into consideration. :+1:

@ag_yaron are there any plans to bring masked emails to the native applications? Sometimes I signup for in an application, not Safari, I would like to be able to use masked emails in this case as well. Thanks!
