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.

Yes, the newly added “email” field cannot be called in the subsequent automatic login, it must be added to the user name bar. - Former Member
Hopefully there will be an update to recognize Fastmail sync for the ones I've done manually.

From the time this function was launched to now I have changed the email accounts of more than 30 commonly used websites. It can be said that almost no websites support the creation of masked emails directly in the user control panel. For this reason, I can only use a workround to solve this problem, that is, through the registration page of this website to make 1Password create a masked email, and manually log in to the previous account to modify it to this new email. - sullimanderNew Contributor
I started doing that too, but then you can’t also manage them in 1Password, not ideal.
I’m guessing that the sites that don’t work are mostly sites that use the email as the username and they are not marking it as an email field since it’s also a username?

For now, I'm just using Fastmail.com to switch over the email addresses and just doing everything manually, if that helps.

I ran into this issue too.
Also, some sites worked, but the entry in 1Password didn’t update the username, but created a new “email” field in 1Password for that account.

Hi @zero_builders:
Thanks for those examples. We're tracking these issues internally, and these examples are helpful.
As it currently stands, 1Password in the browser is currently the only way to generate Masked Emails.

Hello @"jack.platten",
The ONLY one that I have been able to get to show the create Masked Email is for this site, 1password.community (first screen shot below). I am wondering if that's because I created this account using the Fastmail integration feature.
For all of the other sites that I'd like to change my email address for, there is no prompt, of any sort, about creating a masked email.
I even tried my.1password.com and it does not work.
Is it at all possible to generate an email in the Mac 1Password app?

Hi @zero_builders:
Are you using the extension bundled in 1Password for Mac, or our separate 1Password for Safari extension?
In Safari, the Fastmail requires the 1Password for Safari extension. That extension does not integrate with 1Password 7. It can either operate with your 1Password membership separately from the app, or it can integrate with 1Password 8 for Mac Early Access.
If you are using the separate extension, would you mind naming some of the sites you've been having issues with?
