Manually add a masked email to a password entry.
I've had quite a few websites that 1Password did not let me create a masked email for. So, I went into Fastmail and created the masked email. Which is fine. But… When you create a masked email in 1...

Community ManagerHi PastaShock, thanks for writing in!
I can definitely see the benefit of an option to manually add a Fastmail masked email field if you have the integration active. I'd be happy to share your feedback with the team. That said, when you're using the integration we would also want to see those masked emails created automatically wherever possible. How often do you find yourself manually adding the masked email versus creating it automatically? Do you recall any websites where it hasn't worked recently?
I'd be happy to share your feedback regarding support for other providers as well. Would you see yourself using a specific provider given the option, or switching between any? Thanks again!
Not the OP, but I noticed the same issues. I don't remember the specific sites, but especially when changing the e-mail address, I frequently encountered situations where I was not given the option to generate a masked email.
One kind-of workaround was logging out, going to the sign-up page, creating the masked email there, and then pasting that in the existing entry. But the result is not the same and I don't think I had the option to edit an existing account with the masked e-mail in the same way that I could do this with new passwords.

Thank you! I came across it earlier again with PayPal (when trying to change the email of an existing account), so if you need a specific example that would be one.
Just having the option to create a masked email from the overflow autofill menu would probably already be sufficient, because I don't know how feasible it is to consistently recognise email fields in a change-my-email context while ignoring all other email fields.
