iPassword 8 and categories

Hi @Zinzun

In short, yes, categories are templates. They define the fields that will be available by default on the item you're creating. The other way in which they matter is for filling. 1Password can fill items in the Logins, Passwords, Credit Cards, Identities, and SSH categories. If you'd like to be able to fill information you're inputting into 1Password it would need to be saved in one of those categories. A Login category item will not have fields for rewards information by default, but additional fields can be added if you'd like to track that information alongside your credentials. Alternatively you could create two items, one in Logins and one in rewards, and then link those two items together.

A couple resources that may be helpful:

• Customize your 1Password items
• Link related items in 1Password

I think ideally, in the future, we'd be able to fill any item type as long as the item has the required information on it. We're not quite there yet. I hope that helps!
