Unable to create masked emails outside of account creation?
I love the Fastmail masked email integration. It seems to work great during account creation. Thank you for the wonderful feature.
However, I am stumped when trying to create masked emails in order to change the email in existing accounts. I don't see anyway in 1Password menus to do this. I tried clicking:
- 1Password icon on the email form field
- Right-click menu of the email form field
- 1Password extension UI
Feels like creation of masked emails should be possible from all 3 of those UIs.
1Password icon on the email form field - no way to create masked email
Right-click menu of the email form field - no way to create masked email
1Password extension UI - no way to create masked email
By the way, not directly related to creating masked emails, but the Bitwarden right-click menu seems way more useful and intuitive than 1Password's:
1Password Version: 8.4.0
Extension Version: 2.1.8
OS Version: Windows 11 21H2 build 22000.318

Hey @Weldawadyathink:
I'm glad to hear version 2.2.0 of 1Password for Safari improved your state of play. :smile: I completely understand that it was frustrating, and we're constantly iterating to make this even more robust.
Additionally, as I mentioned, we're always exploring other methods of creating Masked Emails, so keep an eye out!

Hi @"jack.platten" and the other 1password people in this thread,
I got the update for the safari extension, and it seems to be much better. I haven't run into any issues yet! I am sorry if I came off as aggressive in some of my previous posts. I was simply frustrated that the feature wasn't working as expected.
Just to reiterate, I still think that it should be possible to generate a masked email directly in 1password without having to find an email field on a website. There are a huge swath of accounts that will NEVER be supported with the current system, even if it becomes perfect. As I previously mentioned, Belkin Wemo accounts can only be created and modified within their app.

Hi @Weldawadyathink:
Thanks for reporting this. I was able to replicate the email field on Aliexpress.com not offering Masked Emails (or emails from Identity items in general), so I've reported it as an issue and hopefully we can get it smoothed out in the future.
@Student00:
Thanks for your feedback on this! We're always exploring additional ways to make Masked Emails, so stay tuned for any improvements we could make in the future. :smile:

Another website that doesn't support masked email addresses: aliexpress. You can't even create one in the account creation stage of the website.

I cannot create a masked email in the 1Password browser/web interface either.
I guess these requests fall into the new feature ask. Many thanks!

Hi, I would like to use the create masked email when signing up for discounts. Enter email to receive 20% off. Sadly, 1Password in Firefox just shows "no items" when I click the icon in the email field. If I could create masked email in the windows app, that could also work, but it doesn't. How can I create masked email? Other than account creation?

Running Safari 15.2
I see 1password 7.9.2 - so I understand.
As I'm currently addicted to Safari's new Tab Group capability, I'll just bide my time until 1P v.8 pops out of beta.
Thanks for the help.

Hello 47beideman,
Can you please check on Safari's extension list and let me know if you see "1Password" or "1Password for Safari" on the list?
At the moment, Fastmail integration only works with the new 1Password for Safari and other browsers. If interested, you can go to App Store, search for 1Password and install 1Password for Safari there. However, it is a standalone version of 1Password that works best with the upcoming 1Password 8. Since it does not work with the current 1Password 7 desktop app, you will miss some features that come with the app.
For the best experience, you can use the new 1Password on other browsers such as Firefox or Chrome, and you should see the Mask email option there.
You can download the new 1Password for your browser from here: https://1password.com/downloads => scroll down to "Get 1Password in your browser" and select a browser.
After that, please go here: https://my.1password.com/signin > Sign in to your account > Select "Integrations" on the right side menu > Ensure that you successfully integrate Fastmail with your 1Password account and try again.

I just migrated to Fastmail and have coupled with 1P. I've got the masked email thing turned on but when I tried to create an account in Linkedin I did not get the masked email drop down option.
I'm running 1P 7.9.2 and whatever the latest extension is.
What, if anything, do you think I'm doing incorrectly?

Hey @tinysalt4230:
I was able to replicate 1Password in the browser not detecting that page as a registration page at all, so I've filed it to see if we can improve it in the future. Thanks for your feedback here!
