I am not really thrilled that 1Password forces bug reporters to send in a JSON file gathered from the non-working login page. This JSON file contains personal information including my username, and my (worthless) personal image caption. I edited the file before sending it in to remove my personal information. You had enough data to fix this bug, and have in fact have fixed it at least once in 2016, seemingly without collecting a username. See https://1password.community/discussion/comment/332958

You should be able to fix a bug or add a feature without collecting personal user information that should remain private. A less sophisticated user would have sent you their username in this file. If a well intentioned developer used my username in their bug fixing activity, my account could easily be locked or disabled when unsuccessful login activity was detected from potentially anywhere in the world as a result of testing a bug fix.

I don't think I'll be using your email reporting system again.
