using masked email as userid

i'm new to using masked email.  since many sites want you to use an email address as your userid it would be great if 1P easily allowed you to generate a mask email automatically when autofilling the userid field rather than the userid in your default profile.  

i haven't found a doc or protocol to speed this up.  while i'm not happy with jumping through some added steps its still better than using apple's hide my email which i have been trying to use since.  maybe there is a document tat i can try out.  even if that calls for manually adding a login to 1p and taking time to add an email to the id using masked email and cut/past the address into the userid field and then using autofill to populate the userid/password fields as part of an account creation dialog.

tia,

Andy

    Hello Andymac​! 👋

    Welcome to the community! 1Password does offer a masked email alias feature if you're using Fastmail, you can read more here: Use 1Password to create and manage Masked Emails in Fastmail

    Can you tell me a little more about the issue that you're running into? Are you using Fastmail masked email aliases? If you are then are there specific websites where 1Password isn't properly filling the masked email alias after you've saved it?
