Show login items only on a subdomain level and based on path

Hey @Educabledrift,

Joy shared your questions with me and indicated that you were looking for a technical explanation for the way 1Password matches URLs. As someone who has worked on our browser extension for many years, I hope I can offer some perspective on where things stand and where we might be going in the future.

The truth is you are 100% correct: there is no hard limitation preventing 1Password from supporting more sophisticated forms of URL matching. As you point out, we could improve our hashing system to support finer grained matching against subdomains, etc. The obstacle is, well, the fact that overhauls take time to execute well. :)

It's important for us to get this kind of advanced feature right. We do that by learning about different use cases, and the one you shared is instructive: it's the first time I've seen a request to match only the first part of the path element. (Maybe we need regex matching!)

Bottom line is, I would really love to provide much more control over URL matching, and it's something we're actively investigating. If you have any other thoughts about how you'd like this kind of feature to work (global setting vs. per-item, etc.) please feel free to share. And thank you for the information you've provided already; it is truly helpful.

All the best,
Mitch
