> In 25% of the cases it does not save e.g. the username correct. Explaining my parents how to open the app, edit the login, etc. is just not gonna work. Can you explain this issue a bit more? I use 1password, and I would be very angry if it randomly did not record my input data correctly. Yet, it's been flawless. Whether it's a username, a custom data field, an email, a site, a custom password, etc - it has never not recorded a piece of data I gave it. I'm on OSX, Windows and iPhone. Is there an issue here I should be aware of? Because not recording data is a big, big deal..

This usually happens to me when I do a reset password flow for a login that was previously not in 1Password. 1Password then saves the password, but not the login. It also happens sometimes when the password entry is on a different page from the login entry field. A third scenario that sometimes occurs is when a website mangled what was put into the login form before field submit (this usually only happens with ISP provided routers, but have seen other cases).

  I just discovered today, looking through 1Password's "weak passwords" section, that 7 years ago I recorded a password for one "Optumhealthbank", and the recorded password was **** My best guess is they used JavaScript to replace the contents of the text field before submission. Thankfully I've apparently never needed to use this password. That said, out of 1000+ saved passwords, this is the only case like that I've seen.

    Yeah, I think I could count the number of times that one has happened on one hand in the past decade, but it definitely has happened enough I remember it.

When you fill in a username/password combo and it pops up offering to save it as a login for you, it just doesn't know that there's a username field. When you revisit that entry in the future. Like possibly the far future when your one-year-long session finally expires, you'll find out you only have a password. Pretty bad UX. The popup that has [Cancel] [Save] should just show you the username and blotted out password for you to confirm. I have a few entries where I was so paranoid that I said fuck it and copied my password right into the name of the website entry. So I'm wondering if there's a case where it only saves the username and not the password because it doesn't detect it? I just haven't registered for a website in a long time so I only remember the one case. If you haven't encountered it, you're just lucky or, more likely, haven't yet noticed. ;)
