Hello jvdh​! 👋

Thanks for the feedback! As AJCxZ0 mentioned, plus addressing is used by many email services to allow you to quickly create email aliases for specific purposes. In regards to your feature request, would you like 1Password to generate that plus address for you using information from the current webpage?

    That is, I use a period instead of a +, so having that configurable would be nice as well
