1 Password 8 for Mac - missing the categories in the left hand panel

In 1 Password 7 for Mac, the left hand panel showed a list of categories (Credit Cards, Passports, Bank Accounts, ...). I used that list a lot. It doesn't seem to be there in 1 Password 8! I hope you haven't removed it as that would be a major backwards step in my opinion. Please advise how I can get this functionality back in 1 Password 8.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. 🤗

We've been doing some experimentation on enabling categories to be added to the sidebar. Be sure to check out the exploring sidebar categories thread for details and add your thoughts and 👍🏻 if it's what you were hoping for.

Take care,

Hi @ChrisJenkins @danrodney @7h31ll3g4l @cortig !

Some news from us: the latest Beta (8.6.0-6) contains an option to show Categories permanently in the sidebar, if you prefer this approach.

If you're curious to try it out, you can do this by downloading (or updating to) the 8.6.0-6 Beta on MacOS, Windows, or Linux, and then:

  1. Go to Settings > Appearance
  2. Under "Always Show in Sidebar", select the Categories option.

We'll be eager to learn what you make of this option! Thanks as always for your feedback here.
