FR: Automatch URLs with credentials
Hello 1 Password Folks!
A quick feature request, if I may.
In order for the useful and time-saving things like autocomplete to work, there has to be a URI match between the credential and the website. This requires that the user has populated the website, or more realistically, that it was automatically populated by one password or a previous credential manager.
However, we're all human, and I wonder if many other users, like me, have bundles of credentials from previous systems, or just ones that never got saved, which are missing an obvious URI. For example: I'm looking at a credential for MongoDB Atlas that (sadly!) is missing the mongodb.com URL association.
I thought today that it's probably fair to assume that most of these matches could be done programmatically or with a smidgen of AI. Even simple keyword matching would probably catch lots of them.
I'd really love to see 1Password beef up its tool extensions, as there are lots of little utilities like this that I think could be really valuable. But I wouldn't hesitate to use a periodic or ongoing password matching logic, so long as it didn't take destructive action like overwriting websites. The worst that could go wrong is mismatching a credential.
AI and secrets are obviously a sensitive mix But perhaps for something with relatively basic natural language requirements like this, a very small model could be bootloaded into the client or something similar.

Hi Mark. That appears to have worked.

Hello bouynxdor! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! You can choose which accounts and vaults appear when when using 1Password in the browser by following these steps:
- Open your browser.
- Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
- Click Accounts & vaults.
- Select only the vault that you'd like to use in that browser.
Note that this will affect both search in the pop-up as well as limit the suggestions that you see when signing into websites.-Dave

Thanks AJC. I already knew how to do that search. The question is, can i make my vault the default in searches so that i'm not always switching from ALL accounts to my specific vault.

When you say that they have "separate" vaults, do you mean that you share vaults with each of them, or that they each have Private a vault (which they should by default)?
In the former case, these are your vaults, so an account-wide search will show results from all your vaults. In the latter case, you should never see any results from their Private vaults.In the application, the top search bar with the "Search in [Your account name]" text is the account-wide search. If you want to search a single vault, then in the middle pane to the right of the All Categories drop-down, there is a magnifying glass with lines on the left which has hover text "Find in Private" or "Find in" the name of your selected vault.
In the plugin, the search bar with the "Search in [Your account name]" is the account-wide search. If you want to search a single vault, then click the account name in the top left corner for a drop-down menu from which you can select a vault. You should see the search text change to "Search in [vault name]".
