The 1Password integration doesn’t work for me. Not sure why :-(

  Works fine for me. Maybe you have some conflicting settings enabled?

    I wonder what settings would that be.

I've seen sites that disallow auto-generated addresses, super lame and makes me not want to use them, not sure how common that is today.

Expect this to change, if Apple's anonymous e-mail forwarding becomes popular. Just like when IT departments (including the one at my company) insisted that everyone use Blackberries because iPhones weren't suitable for a corporate environment. Once enough C-levels start using any feature, it spreads like wildfire.

  How do they disallow it?

    I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I think there are published lists of domains used by e.g. mailinator, so if they see a match they just reject you with a "please use a valid email address" message.

  They can't easily filter Apples or Fastmails addresses, since they have @icloud.com / @fastmail.com domains.

Yes, and they recently enabled one time emails with your own custom domain, which really helps get around folks trying to identify and prevent this. This is a killer feature, I love Fastmail.

I wish they'd open this up to use a subdomain, rather than the main domain.

But it makes it very difficult to ever switch to a different provider...
