Web form details gone from 1password8 - how do you find the prior data and where do I put it?

In 1password7 in my entry for 1Drive, I have the encryption key as a webform detail password entry. It's not on the login screen, it's on a screen post login, and I need this to get to my backups for which I am using my own private encryption key.

It looks like webform details is no longer in 1Password 8. Fine, I have to move the field. But if I can't see the contents how do I move it? (Ok, I go back to 1password7 on some device and edit the entry to 'move it')
But to what do I move it. I still don't want it to show except as *****, as it's a private field

The major issue of course is once you upgrade, you lose access to even see the field, which in this case would be catatrophic.

    Doesn't work for me either, 1Password is not "remembering" all the fields on a particular web page I'm using and I can't seem to see or edit the missing field even though I have this option checked.

    I just tested this today on 1Password 8 Stable and Nightly and both have this option in Advanced, but it apparently does nothing.

    I tested it with a login that shows "remember_login" with a check mark when viewed on the web when clicking "
    Web Form Details", but there is nothing shown in 1 Password 8.

    BTW, I'm finding it a bit different and just adjusting, but I'm liking the 8 update in general, it's an easier work flow and it handles updates to items in a more understandable and better workflow than 7 did, so much so that now I trust it to update the right fields.

    That's great to hear! Thank you. 😀

    Yes, that solves the issue, and I guess it needs to be in a release notes/readme (if I missed it, sorry).

    🎉

    Can't blame you a bit for missing it, but it is there.

    • 8.1.0-66 Release Notes (June 28th) "An option to show auto-saved web details in the item details view has been added to 1Password’s Advanced settings."
    • 8.1.2-42 Release Notes (July 22nd) "Users can now edit (and delete) auto-saved web form details."

    Edit: Updated with the link to the appropriate release notes. Note that 8.1.0-55 on June 28th, mentioned above, was a fat finger on my part. That should've been 8.1.0-66.

    @Syd

    In 8.1.0-55 (June 28th) we added an advanced setting which allows these fields to be shown in 1Password 8. As of 8.1.2-42 (July 22nd) these fields can also be modified if shown.

    1Password > Preferences > Advanced > Show auto-saved web details

    Does that help? Please let me know.

    Yes, I know that method, but still the concept that I can no longer access the item would have been catastrophic. (OK, I do have it on a hard copy in my emergency file, but still, I'm a person who has backups on my backups, others?)

    Hi @Syd!

    You could create a https://support.1password.com/custom-fields/, and mark it as a password field, so it shows up masked by default:
