Feature request: auto-fill history

Hello 1Password Team,

Most of the time, I use Apple Pay for online shopping, but today my credit card is locked because it's detecting abnormal transactions, I must have auto-filled the credit card detail in some fake shopping websites. 

It is not 1Password's fault, but I see opportunity for improvement, because I don't remember which website I've auto-filled my credit card. I would like to suggest a new feature for 1Password: Auto-Fill History. This feature would allow users to see a log of websites and apps where 1Password has auto-filled credit card information or other credentials.

This would be particularly helpful for:

  • Auditing where sensitive data has been used.
  • Identifying websites or services where outdated or compromised credit cards might have been stored.
  • Improving personal security by giving users better visibility and control over their data.

A possible implementation could include a chronological history view for each credit card or login item, showing:

  • Website or app name
  • Date and time of auto-fill
  • Option to delete entries from the history

This feature would greatly enhance security, transparency, and usability for users who rely on 1Password to manage sensitive financial information.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Best regards,


Joe

    Hi JoeZ​, thanks for writing in and sharing this feature suggestion. I'm sorry to hear about the recent trouble with your card. While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I'd be happy to share your suggestion with the team. 

    Could I ask how this feature would be different than just checking your transaction history, or reviewing your browser history? I can imagine some circumstances where you might enter your credit card information without incurring a charge but typically if I'm filling that info I'm making a purchase. 

    I'm also curious to hear a bit more about how you envision the history for a credit card or identity item. For example would the history be cut off automatically at a certain point, or would you want to see the entire history?

    Thanks again!

      Hi,

      1. Transaction history doesn't reflect whether the purchases were made via auto-fill, it could be via Apple Pay, Google Pay etc.
      2. Auto-fill history is not just limited to credit card, it applies to all credentials in 1Password that's auto-fillable, credit card audit is just one of the use cases. 
      3. I clean browser history regularly, by the time I need to audit the history it would have been deleted, so checking browser history isn't a good option. 
      4. Would I like to see the entire history? Yes if possible, but that really depends on your technical feasibility and cost balancing. So I'd like at least 1 year history, you can also extend that length based on plan tier --  your business, your say.
