Order of login items, with Domain and URL matching

I know 1Password will try to do a "best match", to show the login items that are most likely to be relevant first, but there's something not quite right with it.

I work on a lot of client website, each one is developed on their own domain, e.g. "project.client.dev.example.com"... and when I create a login for that domain, it is shown at the top of the list (good).

But when I go to our internal system at "dev.example.com", the logins for it are not sorted to the top of the list... and with quite a few clients/projects, each with multiple logins, that list gets incredibly long (as it, I suppose correctly, shows every possible login under "example.com").

Likewise, when we have different tools at different URLs, e.g. "dev.example.com/admin" and "dev.example.com/chat", the best match does not seem to be selected first (it seems to be alphabetically sorted).

    I'm not seeing any sorting based on root domain while using the Chrome extension. For example, when I'm on a page under https://signin.aws.amazon.com/ and I click on my 1Password button among the extensions, the first match listed is https://mail.google.com while https://(account-specific code).signin.aws.amazon.com/console is 4th.

    Btw, I miss how LastPass would show a count on its extension of the number of root domain matches without even needing to click the button.

    Thank you Steph,

    I will add, you are right, it does an initial include decision based on the root domain (as it should)... but it does re-order them if the full domain is a longer match... so, if you are on "b.example.com" and you had logins for sub-domains a/b/c/d/etc, then the logins for the "b" sub-domain do come first (good)... but it's when you're on the top level domain (example.com), or the difference is in the path part of the URL, then the better matched logins don't move up the list in those cases (it keeps with alphabetical sorting).

    And unfortunately marking them as favourite, on a list of 200+ logins, doesn't really work :-)

    Hey craig_francis,

    1Password currently only suggests items based on the root domain. We have an internal open request to support advanced matching rules for autofill so I have added your feedback to this discussion.

    If you find you're using a specific Login more frequently than others, you can add it as a favorite which will make sure it's always displayed as the first result.

    I hope this helps, thank you for your feedback!
