Domain name substitution in Identity filling

antifuchs

<div class="IPBDescription">Does 1Password support one email address per web site?</div>I've just discovered 33mail for myself, and as a longtime 1Password user, I would love to integrate both for my signing-up needs to web services. If you're unfamiliar with the service, it lets you generate a unique email address for every web service you sign up to, and lets you define custom filters for these addresses.



Of course, if you have an email server, you can do the same manually, and I have done so until I switched to 1password (-:



The email address format is pretty simple: It's <site-specific>@<your-user-name>.33mail.com. <site-specific> varies with each site you sign up to (and doesn't have to be the site name); 33mail have a nice bookmarklet that let you generate that email address, but I'd really like if 1password could generate that email address for me, just like it generates passwords.



Since many web services also use email addresses as the user name, I think this could even be more secure than one fixed email address & one auto-generated password: More randomness for an attacker to crack (-:



I hope you'll consider adding this feature.

Try entering this in the email address field in your Identity:



[code][domain]@yourusername.33mail.com[/code]

Where "yourusername" is — your user name. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



[font="Menlo"][domain][/font] will be replaced with the domain name of the site where you are filling the Identity. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';-)' />



This also works with well with any Gmail account using Gmail's "[url="http://lifehacker.com/144397/instant-disposable-gmail-addresses"]plus addressing[/url]" feature:



[code]yourusername+[domain]@gmail.com[/code]

The [font="Menlo"][domain][/font] is literally the word "domain" in brackets. Don't substitute anything there. 1Password will do that for you when you fill the Identity (e.g., filling the Identity on [font="Menlo"]example.com[/font] will fill the email address [font="Menlo"]yourusername+example.com@gmail.com[/font] for the latter and [font="Menlo"]example.com@yourusername.33mail.com[/font] for the former).



I hope that helps. Please let me know.



Cheers,

Hey, that's pretty sweet: exactly what I was looking for. Tried it in Safari, and that works nicely.



Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for me in Chrome (my preferred browser). I entered "[domain]@blabla.33mail.com" into my identity's email field, and tested by signing up to Twitter using Google Chrome (tried both extension version 3.6.3.30953 and the beta, 3.6.4.30955): it used the literal string "[domain]@blabla.33mail.com".

You know all this time and this is one feature I never tried out. You explained it so well. Even I could understand it <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> ( I am being serious on this, it just never clicked for me and I never used it since the alpha days ) I have a new tinker toy to experiment with. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Chrome is my default browser lately as well. This is a known issue for which I, unfortunately, cannot provide a time frame for a fix. It is on our radar, though, and I know the Chrome extension has been getting a good amount of lovin' from the developers lately. Perhaps I can nudge them a bit on this.



Thanks for reminding me!

Let me add my vote—I have missed this quite a bit since switching to Chrome. (Otherwise, [b]fantastic[/b] work on the Chrome extension, I can't thank you enough!)

Thanks for the vote (and the very kind words), Trey!

Adding my vote too. Thought it was a bug in 1Password. Pity it only doesn't work in Chrome, my default browser!

Thank you for the vote! I have passed it along to the developers.
