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:

    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.

1P_Dave why? This is a horrible feature…. Especially when people are using Fastmail’s Masked Emails.

For the time being, only 1Password in the browser (our browser extension) currently supports the Fastmail integration when creating new Login items.

I also created a Fastmail Aliases for the account I am making (I have my own domain), and I usually don’t use the Masked Emails (once in a while I’d o). It’s also filling in an email address I haven’t used in years… probably 5 at least. Please… least give us the option to turn it off. It’s creating MORE work for me making a login and a horrible user experience.

User names are not always email addresses as well, so it’s making more work for people. Please…. Please give me the option to turn it off at least.
