If you have multiple logins for the same website

If you save multiple logins for the same website, 1Password will suggest each of your logins when you sign in to that website. Follow these tips to improve the order of your suggested logins:

  • Add logins to your Favorites. You can mark an item as a favorite if you’d like it to show up at the top of the list of suggestions for a website, regardless of the full URL.
  • Edit the title of the Login item with additional information. For example, if you have multiple Google accounts, you can change the title of each Login item to specify what it’s used for (“Google - Personal” or “Google - Work”). Then you can search for the title of the Login item you want in the username or password field to filter your suggested logins.
  • Make sure the Login item has the full URL for the website. For example, if you have multiple Slack accounts, you can edit your Slack Login items to include the workspace in the website field (https://example1.slack.com, https://example2.slack.com, and so on). Then you’ll see the appropriate login at the top of the suggestions list when you sign in to that Slack workspace in your browser. You can also change where a login is suggested and filled.

If you sign in to a site with a supported provider

If you want to sign in to a website with a supported sign-in provider, like Google or Facebook, 1Password can save a Login item for that site with information about the provider you use to sign in. The next time you visit the sign-in page for that website, 1Password will offer to sign you in to the site with the provider you saved in the item.
