Request: Turn off username guessing in the apps [RESOLVED]
When I go to create a new login, the user name is prefilled with an email address I haven’t used in years. This shouldn’t have any email address, especially when I use Fastmail’s masked emails. I hop...
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:

Thanks again for all of the feedback and for always helping us make 1Password more useful for your needs and your workflows.

ModeratorThanks again for the feedback, I've shared all of your comments with the team that's working on item creation and, while I can't promise any specific changes, they'll take your comments into account when planning future changes to how items are created in the 1Password app.
Are your mom and in-laws using email aliases as well? Or do they mostly use the same email address for everything? The latest beta version of the 1Password app allows you to choose which email address is suggested by choosing a default identity: Choose your default identity and credit card items
This change will make it to the stable version as soon as possible.
how is this showing “Solved” when it’s not?
Marking a post as a solution to a thread doesn't mean that the issue/request itself is solved or closed. It's a way to highlight the most up-to-date answer for anyone who stumbles onto the thread in the future.

My wife is pushed over the edge with this. She asked me if we can move her to Bitwarden now since we have the family account set up for my mom.

I hear you and I appreciate you sharing your feedback. I've already passed your comments along to our product and development teams. I know that this change has been frustrating to you and your family and I wish that I had an update to share. While I don't have any news on whether a toggle will be added at this time, the team is always evaluating feedback to continue to improve the experience.
If I do have any news to share in the future then I'll make sure to update this thread.

1P_Davelook at the frustrated people in this thread and on Reddit. 3 months since I started…. and nothing.
The last 14 years I recommend YOUR product to people, now they are asking me why this is happening…. and frustrated with me.
I don’t see anyone asking for this feature. You keep saying they are working on improving it, nothing about an option shutting it off.
Please tell me how people are frustrated with this, people asking for an off switch, and nothing is happening? Even Apple fixes things when they do stuff wrong (Touch Bar years ago, and they added ports back to the MacBook Pros).
