Hello everyone,
I'm happy to share that, with the latest update to the stable version of 1Password (8.10.78), our team has added a setting to turn off the prefilling of usernames when creating new items in the app:
You can find instructions on how to update here: How to keep 1Password up to date
Thanks again for all of the feedback and for always helping us make 1Password more useful for your needs and your workflows.

For most users of 1Password, this will probably be a great feature, and while it doesn't bother me too much, it would be nice to have one of a few options in the settings:
- Disable Auto-Suggest (do not pre-fill any username)
- Allow the ability to select a default username/email
- Provide the option to deselect usernames from previously created usernames
I have the integration with Fastmail which is awesome. I have been on Fastmail long before the 1Password integration existed, but the ability now to create a unique email on the fly is great. I don't use the completely random emails too often, but I do have 100+ different email addresses in Fastmail (e.g. fitness[@]fastmail; shopping[@]fastmail; etc), so I do not use a single email primarily across my logins. It depends on the purpose of the login.
In this case, the new feature isn't as useful, but could be if it would also have the ability for me to say, "any shopping website, suggest shopping[@]fastmail as the username" or something similar.

Thank you for those suggestions! While I can't make any promises, I've passed along your feedback to the team internally.
Allow the ability to select a default username/email
The team is currently testing this functionality in the beta version of the apps where username suggestions are based on your default identity. It should be released to the stable version soon.
