4 years agoFeature Request: Support for other Masked Email providers
I would guess that there's probably a decent overlap of 1Password and ProtonMail customers. This year ProtonMail acquired https://simplelogin.io for masked email creation (https://simplelogin.io/blog/simplelogin-join-proton/) and I'm wondering how it could be made available in the same way as
Masked Email - Keep your real email address private. Automatically create new, random email addresses you can use when signing up to services online. Any emails from those services get sent right to your primary inbox. If you start receiving spam, you can block that address with a single click.

Addy.io integration would be awesome

@lumpycustard I am not privy to any inside information here and speak with no authority on 1Password or Proton's business agreements, but: I don't think it's an issue of Proton not playing nicely, but rather that it hasn't yet gotten to the top of the 1Password development team's to-do list. There is a popular open-source value-priced password manager that has support for masked email with many different providers including addy.io, SimpleLogin, DuckDuckGo, Firefox Relay, and Fastmail; I can't think of a reason Proton would allow other password managers to integrate with SimpleLogin but would deny 1Password, and of course that doesn't explain the lack of visible progress with the other above-named providers.
I'm really hopeful that we'll hear about some progress on this front. I understand and agree that it's not as important as passkeys, but it's such a nice improvement to my workflow and, more importantly, it makes masked email much more approachable for less-technical users.

Adding my vote to this request. I use ProtonMail because I already make use of their other services and pay quite a bit of money for it -- Encrypted Storage, VPN, and Calendar. They recently released a password manager with the ability to automatically generate email aliases, however I'm a fan of 1Password and pay for a family plan. I want to continue using 1Password but idk how much longer I can hold out for before I just cancel my 1Password sub and move over to ProtonPass.
It's not a matter 1Password vs ProtonPass, it's just a matter of needing a particular feature and spending your money in the most efficient way possible. If Proton are not playing nicely and allowing your service to interact with theirs, then say so, so that we can vote with our wallets and put pressure on Proton.
Thanks.

I'd like to second the request for other masked/unmasked email providers, ESPECIALLY ones not based in 5Eyes countries and who have stellar reputations for enhanced support for end-to-end encryption.
It's surprising and disappointing that 1PW, despite having a great reputation (in spite of its 5 Eyes country ops base) doesn't adequately support integrations with the most reputable paid encrypted email, encrypted voice call, encrypted text, email masking, and VPN providers.
Once that starts seriously happening, I can start moving my digitally-vulnerable friends & family members who I'm designated geek for onto higher-privacy/security services en masse.

Thank you for the feedback! I've passed along your request that we build an integration for AnonAddy to our Product team.

thedean Seems like enhancing masked emails is super, super low on 1Password's priority list. As far as I can tell, the Fastmail support hasn't been enhanced since launch. And 1password hasn't added any more providers. SUPER disappointing. I understand 1Password maybe more enterprise focused these days and seems like consumer features are darn low on the product manager's priority list. Super disappointing.

Hello:
I'd like to add my vote of support for AnonAddy integration. I have recently migrated from SimpleLogin to AnonAddy and I love it. Even though ProtonMail is my email provider, and Proton has acquired SimpleLogin, I have seen no efforts on Proton's part to provide any integration with the product they own. I feel AnonAddy is much easier to use and it allows multiple options for generation of email names (random characters, random words, UUID, and even custom names).
I recently spoke with AnonAddy developer Will Browning, and he said he would be very interested in an integration with 1Password. He told me that Bitworden developed integration with AnonAddy all on their own, just using the AnonAddy open API. You can find documenation on the API here:https://app.anonaddy.com/docs.
You can also see how the Bitworden/AnonAddy integration works here: https://anonaddy.com/blog/bitwarden-adds-anonaddy-integration/
As a first step, I hope someone from 1Password can reach out to Will Browning at AnonAddy to at least start some discussions about how a possible integration could work. The API should make it pretty straight forward. You can reach Will Browning at mailto:contact@anonaddy.com.
Thanks for adding my voice to the chorus to provide email generation integration.

@JoT SimpleLogin is Proton's robust email aliasing service. I don't care for, nor use, Proton mail. SimpleLogin works with any email provider on the planet and does far, far more than Proton mail or most any other email provider.
