Description

Hi,

when I sign into [overleaf.com](https://www.overleaf.com/login), I use the **"Sign in with Google" button**. In such cases, I use my password manager to remind me, "Hey on this website you used 'Sign in with Google'" by manually creating a custom entry in my password manager telling me exactly this.

Currently, there are two ways of handling this particular situation.

A) Use a field such as "username" for this information

B) Add the domain https://www.overleaf.com to my Google account entry

I do not have a good idea how to fix this particular issue, and I just wanted to spark some discussion how a password manager could ideally handle such cases in a user friendly manner.

Best,
Max
