# Fill Any Form, Not Just Logins

1Password does not stop at automatically and securely filling in passwords, credit card numbers, forum registration, and personal info. Are you a regular eBay seller, or a freelancer with client accounts to create all over the web? Perhaps you frequently run the same—or similar—search queries at your favorite engine. Maybe you’re just trying to win that iPod contest once and for all. 1Password can save you time when repeatedly filling just about any kind of form. Here’s how.

## Step 1: Type in All of Your Information

1Password’s ability to save username and password information extends to most other forms on the web1. Even if account registration or contest forms ask for information that 1Password does not have a default field for, you can fill them in with as much information as you want to save and repeatedly fill in later.

## Step 2: Save the Form as a Login

Right-click anywhere on the page or use the 1Password browser button and choose “Save Login.” Much like saving your name and password for a site, you will be prompted to unlock your data file (if necessary), then to give your new item a unique name or to overwrite an existing Login item.

## Step 3: Use the Form

The next time you visit the site, simply use the 1Password browser button or right-click anywhere on the page and choose the first option, which should be “Login with [name of the site or item].”

1Password is smart enough to display just the Logins at the top of this menu that are related to the current site. The rest of your logins for other sites are, of course, still just a click away in another part of the 1Password menu.

## Logins versus Identities

While it may seem like 1Password Identities would be more suited to this task, there are a few reasons for why we recommend using the Logins feature, which is both more flexible and faster for you to create on the fly while browsing.

1Password Identities are great for creating different sets of basic personal details for filling into sites. Identities are designed to store many of the typical details that you might need to fill in, such as home or work sipping addresses, the name you usually register in forums, and your personal or business website. We can’t think of everything, though, which is why you can quickly save any other form you want to repeatedly fill in as a Login.
