Hello birchmeier! 👋
Thank you for such detailed feedback! I'm sorry for missing your post last year. At the moment the best way to store directory-controlled logins and avoid issues is to have a single login item with multiple website URLs and labeled sections for your usernames. Then you can leave the default username blank, fill your password and drag and drop the appropriate username for each website.
That being said, I'll pass your suggestion along to our product team. While I can't make any promises, they'll considering adding that sort of functionality to 1Password in the future.
j3h and TKramer1 I've passed along your feedback as well. Thank you for helping us make 1Password better.

My university has this issue too. My email is username@domain.com. For the vast majority of university resources, I must enter just "username", but logging into my University Google Drive and University Outlook Email requires me to enter "username@domain.com". If I change my university password, it does also change for the Google and Microsoft logins, so it does not make sense to manage two different logins.
Worse, if I forget and accidentally put just "username" into the Microsoft login, it makes a valid match to someone else's account and asks me to enter the 2FA code. There is not an obvious cancel button, and I end up clicking around a few times then closing the tab and reopening a new tab to try it from the start again.
From a UI perspective, this mockup seems to me that it'd be pretty intuitive:
- No change unless someone selects "add more" > Username
- If someone does select that, then move password to be its own section at the very top of the login, and visually group usernames together with their associated websites.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I can definitely see how 1Password could better handle this type of situation and I've filed a feature request on your behalf as well.
