How do I disable 1Password guessing a username on new login item creation?

A somewhat recent update seems to have made 1Password make an assumption about the username for new login items. For a variety of reasons, it has been wrong 100% of the time for the dozen plus login ...

    Hello folks,

    I wanted to provide an update here where everyone in this thread can see it. As discussed, 1Password will automatically fill your email address in the username field and generate a password so that you can create new items faster. Username suggestions are based on the vault that you’re creating a new item in and are suggested based on previous use. 

    In the last month (March 2025) the team has made an improvement to the feature, you can now configure a default identity and always have the email address of that default identity be suggested when creating a new item: Choose your default identity and credit card items

    The team will continue to iterate further based on everyone's feedback and are looking into adding a setting to turn off username suggestions in the future. We'll continue to keep the community updated on new developments. Thanks again for all of the feedback!
