Show us the URL?

Hi,

If I go to a website and there is a login requirement, I believe I understand that 1Password uses the domain to look up one or more logins that I already have stored for this domain.

If the lookup fails, I believe 1Password indicates "nothing found" or so. Wouldn't it be an idea for in this case to be given the domain or sequence that 1Password used for its search? Just some feedback  to the end user, rather than the bland "nothing matches".

Whaddya think - worth a Feature Request?

Regards

Mungo

    Hello MungoH​! 👋

    Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure that I understand the use case, 1Password will use the domain of the website that you're trying to fill into to suggest login items.

    Can you tell me a little more about the suggestion and where you'd like to see the domain be presented? What platform are you using? Are you able to post a screenshot?

      Hi Dave,

      On the ios platform (iPad), I was setting a Lock on a Note, and I had to manually dig the password out of 1Password. So if the 1Password utility could be tricked into matching against a Note then that would fully engage my laziness! :-)

      But now I twig that the browser link to 1Password is via an Extension, which is not available via Notes.

      In my head it was a good idea, but I see the error in my ways.

      Thankyou for the reply, but you can stand down now.

      Regards

        Thanks for the reply! On iOS, 1Password depends on an Apple technology called iOS AutoFill to detect and fill fields in other apps. The app that you're filling into needs to declare an "associated domain" that iOS AutoFill will then provide to 1Password in order for 1Password to match against the website addresses in your currently saved login items. 

        The reason you'll see "No suggestions" when you try to fill a password into the Apple Notes app is because the Apple Notes app doesn't provide an associated domain. This means that there's no way for 1Password to suggest login items for that app and you'll need to search for the correct login each time that you fill into the app. 

        Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
