One of my few complaints about 1Password is that when you save a new password, it saves the exact URL that you are at, instead of just the domain name. This can lead to problems and confusion later on.
It’s a good idea to make 1Password less specific. What I mean is more easily shown than explained:
For example, if you changed your password on Twitter, you might end up with something like this:
note that 1Password has saved the entire URL http://www.twitter.com/settings/password but in the future, we want to use this whenever we are prompted to login to Twitter, so it would be much better to edit the location field like this:
so the URL is just http://twitter.com/. Note that I removed not only the “/settings/password” at the end of the URL, but the “www” at the beginning of the URL.
I hope that 1Password will one day offer an option to just save the domain name instead of the full URL, but until then, a little hand editing is the best solution.
n.b. Twitter actually removes the “www” from URLs automatically. I just used that as a quick example for illustration. However, you can get mixes between “www.google.com” and “google.com” and many other sites.
p.s. on Mac, press ⌘+ E to edit the selected item’s password in 1Password
