How to save simple data form fields for later auto-fill?

In LastPass I used to have some form fields filled automatically by the extension in a certain website. Data included name, address, cost center, etc, no login nor password.
How to achieve the same with 1password? The only available option is to save a Login, not a generic form.

    In that case, you'll be able to use 1Password to save additional fields which it can then autofill. Fill in the form as you'd like it, then right-click 1Password in the browser toolbar and click Save Login. Choose to update your existing item for that site.

    Then, the next time you visit that page, that same information can be autofilled again.

    Full instructions on how this works are here: Save and fill passwords in your browser – If you need to save additional fields on a website

    Hope that helps!

    Hi again :) This is the one I am looking to fill, initially: https://voam.com.br/reembolso
    Fields:
    Employee name, employee ID, phone, dependent name, kinship degree, cost center, building, amount paid, today's date.
    You see, it's several different things, very generic, nothing to do with Identity, nor Login.

    Hey again, zenluiz!

    Although the Identity would work, I think it doesn't make much sense to use it in generic cases. It would be great to have a "Generic saver and filler" category to be used whenever the other, more specific ones, don't fit.

    Could you provide some examples of more generic data that you want 1Password to save and fill?

    I did notice that you had previously mentioned name and address fields, which are included in Identities. Could you tell me more about cost center related fields?

    As far as I can see in the link you sent, currently the only "filler" categories are Login and Identity, right?

    It may be technically possible to get 1Password to fill a variety of fields on a form but that is largely dependent on how the form is coded. Additionally, while 1Password may be able to fill a variety of fields, it may not make sense to have 1Password fill those fields. If you can point us to a specific form, we can take a look and let you know what we'd recommend.

    The link that I sent was specific to the name and address fields that you had mentioned in your original post. If you can provide some examples of other fields you want 1Password to fill, I'll let you know if it's possible. If you can share a specific form with me, that's even better.

    Hi zenluiz! 1Password does have Identity items that make it possible to save and fill your name, address, email address, and other identity-related data. Here's a little more about what Identity items are and what they can do: https://support.1password.com/item-categories/#identity

    We have a guide on how to save and fill Identity items (as well as credit card items) here: https://support.1password.com/credit-card-address-filling/

    Does that help? If you have any other questions, please let us know.
