Can you link multiple sites to a single password entry?

I find that sometimes where multiple sites use the same username/password (e.g. they are owned by the same company or use the same authentication server), I have to have multiple entries in 1Password.



For example, I have an entry for ebay.com.au and ebay.com and ebay.co.uk all with the same details, because that's how eBay works. If I don't have multiple entries, I can't auto-complete; and if update one of these, I have to remember to update all of them or it will become a game of find-the-correct-password later on <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />

Is there a better way around this? I know it's a bit of a first world problem <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />

    I haven't found a way. But I agree. Amazon is another example I think. And there are others.



    Hopefully this kind of behavior will be made available in the future. +1

    Please try this:

    [list=1]

    [*]On the Logins tab of 1Password preferences, click the [b]Domain Mapping[/b] button.

    [*]In the Domain Matching dialog box, click the upper [b]Add[/b] button.

    [*]In the Domain Name dialog box, type the name of one of the sites, and click the [b]OK[/b] button.

    [*]For each of the other domains:

    [list=a]

    [*]In the Domain Matching dialog box, click the lower [b]Add[/b] button.

    [*]In the Domain Name dialog box, type the domain name, and click the [b]OK[/b] button.

    [/list]

    [*]When you finish setting up the matching for all the domains you want to equate, click the [b]OK[/b] button to close the Domain Matching dialog box.

    [/list]

    Please let us know whether that helps.
  • David,



    just tried playing with this. Can you get in a bit more detail how this is implemented?

    Do I need login entried for each site with just having username/password empty? Or I don't?

    What in cases where the username/password is identical (common authentication infrastructure) but the fields to enter the data are completely different?

    The way I would like to set this up is the following:

    - manually create a dummy login record to hold the credentials

    - for each site that relies on these credentials, link it to the dummy.

    Is that possible? If not, how would I implement this?

    And how is password change handled across the linked domains?



    thanks a lot for your help!

    Till,



    username/password is irrelevant. It's the domain name that decides what login(s) are presented in our browser extension(s). Because a login item is associated with a single domain (for example: microsoft.com), it does not appear in our browser extension(s) when another domain (for example: hotmail.com) is currently loaded in your web browser. In other to associate your login item with both microsoft.com [b]and[/b] hotmail.com, you can match microsoft.com and hotmail.com here: [i]File > Preferences (Ctrl+P) > Logins > Domain Matching[/i].



    Thanks, Stefan.

    I hope they help!
