relegated to "Other Logins"

Ted L. Nancy

On a few sites, I have multiple logins. (On PayPal, for instance, I have my personal login, my business logins, and a couple of non-profits.) Is there a way to control which login becomes the "primary" login and which get relegated to the Other Logins submenu?

Hi Ted,



Right now, there isn't a specific way to indicate which login should be the default for a domain. (We are considering this for a future release, however, since it is one of our most requested improvements.) You do have a couple of options though.



One option is to take advantage of 1Password's precise URL matching algorithm though to point 1Password to the "default" login.



1) Locate the login page for the site.

2) Copy the entire URL

3) Set the Location of the "default" login to that URL

4) Set the Location of the other logins to be some other subdomain of the site like "login.domain.com" (The value is not important as 1Password will ferret out the main domain name.)



When you land on the login page, 1Password will recognise that the "default" login matches better than the others and use that one. This doesn't currently work with some sites, most notably Google login pages, but it should work in the majority of cases. The "non-default" logins will then be available in the "Other Logins" section of the 1Password toolbar button in your browser.



The other option that you have is to not display infrequently used logins in the browser. You can set the Display attribute for a login to "Never" to have it not show in the browser and thus not be part of the pool of logins that 1Password uses when searching for a login to use. This can be very helpful if you have accounts that you are responsible for managing or helping with but do not need on a regular basis such as email accounts for family members or administrative accounts for clients. If you go this route, you can still use Go & Fill for the login from the main 1Password application to have 1Password fill the login.



Hope that helps,

Yes please! I have multiple logins with a large number of accounts and setting the default would greatly help!

Dan and Ted, while Stu is correct that there is not a switch you can flip that will set one login to be the primary one, you [i]can[/i] use 1Password's [url="http://forum.agile.ws/index.php?/topic/3967-precise-url-matching/"]precise URL matching[/url] to your advantage here.



Simply set the "additional logins" to a "less specific" URL than the one for your "primary" Login. e.g., If you have three logins like this:



[list]



[*]My Main Login — http://www.example.com/en-us/login

[*]My Dog's Login — http://www.example.com/en-us/login

[*]Some Other Login — http://www.example.com/en-us/login

[/list]

Change them to this:



[list]



[*]My Main Login — http://www.example.com/en-us/login

[*]My Dog's Login — http://www.example.com/

[*]Some Other Login — http://www.example.com/

[/list]

You can edit the login in 1Password and chop off everything beyond the main domain name in the URL field.



That will, of course, break Go & Fill for the additional logins (unless there is another login form with the same field names at the top level of the domain), but it should produce the desired results.



I hope that helps. Please let me know.



Cheers,
