1Password 8 Feedback

Hi @J0n4t4n,

Glad to hear you're giving 1Password 8 for Mac a go! I'll come to each of your points in turn for clarity:

1. 1Password mini has been replaced with Quick Access for keyboard-driven usage, and you can set the menu bar icon to open 1Password 8 fully, rather than just a mini view. (Preferences > General > "Click the icon to: Show the main window") Since 1Password 8 is very snappy and responsive, opening the main window is just as quick now as it was to open 1Password mini before, if not faster.

You can use ⇧⌘Space to open Quick Access, or bind a shortcut to show/hide the main window. Keyboard shortcuts are managed in Preferences > General.

It might take a bit of adjustment to get the hang of Quick Access instead of 1Password mini, but from personal experience at least, it's become second nature.

1. The All Vaults view has been replaced with Collections. You could make a collection called "All Vaults" containing the vaults you want to make it work like before. You can have as many collections as you want with any combination of your vaults for different purposes, so there's more flexibility now than just the single "All Vaults" setting from before.

Then, if you're searching while you have a collection selected, it'll only search that collection.

1. It sounds like you might want to try Find, rather than Search. Click Edit menu > Find, or press ⌥⌘F to give it a try. You'll see results immediately without pressing Enter.

Give those things a try and let me know how you get on. I'll be here if you need further help.

Thanks for the quick reply @ag_will!

1. You had me at "keyboard-driven". I'll just have to get used to it then. Changing the Tray Icon behaviour to show the main window is also helping a lot.
2. Ah, I missed that. That makes for an even better replacement!
3. Yes, that does what I want. Even though I am confused about why these two are different and how the new Search would be better than Find.

2 questions related to 1PW8 {subscription}, and in lieu of starting a new thread, I'll ask here...

Just switched to 1PW8 (no intention to revert back to 1PW7) - all working fine. When the migration took place, did it delete the remnants (various data files) related to 1PW7? ...If no, where I can I find a files list (& locations) so I can manually delete?

Secondly but not related... Any ETA on when iOS 1PW8 will arrive?

Hey @J0n4t4n:

Glad to hear Will's answers helped you out! 😀

@pbGuy:

Generally speaking we'd recommend leaving the files that 1Password 7 used as is. As for when you'll see 1Password 8 for iOS, while it's currently in Early Access, we tend to keep specifically timelines pretty close to the chest.

More feedback for you. When opening PW8 on an Intel Mac Mini, the Apple Watch login option has to be selected manually, another irritating step. Sure this was not the case with PW7. Suggest that if AW is selected in prefs then opening the app should automatically open the AW login function. Cheers Robert

Hi @robfol:

Just to confirm, is this after opening the 1Password 8 window after it's been closed, or just after locking it, switching to another app, and then re-focusing the 1Password 8 window? Let me know!

1password 8 came out of nowhere for me.
Seems lots have changed and I’m continually running into serious early day bugs that almost certainly would have been caught in decent beta testing. Generate certificates is yet to work once for me on either ipadOS or ios.

Over on Testflight though, we’re all still rolling on with 7, I don’t get it !?

Greetings, I have just recently upgraded to 1Password 8 in my Mac and there are 2 behaviours that I have trouble with:

1) I have two accounts, in 1Password 7 I could enter the password for a master account and have both unlocked. Now I have to enter both passwords to unlock both vaults (several times per day).

2) The Search feature!! In 1Password7 the text in the top search box would filter all the results in the main windows. Now when I start to type my search, it only shows in the dropdown approving under the search. When I press enter, it takes me to the highlighted element but does not filter the view. I have hundreds of element, many sharing some common name "AWS as example" I like to be able to filter my view to only those elements. I see that I can achieve this by pressing "Cmd-Enter" but I'd like the ability to set it to the default option when I press "enter".

Lastly, my first thought on the new UI is that it feels harder to read, the items take more space. I feel the 1Password7 had a more compact easy to read view.

I understand that there are many other improvements behind the new version but these to me, on a day to day basis, makes me want to go back to the previous version. Small annoyances but when it happens multiple times a day, it ends up being a frustration.

I hope this helps make it better.

After 3 days of use, first impressions 1P8 vs 1P7:

IP8 works significantly faster and smoother.
Sync via the Agile server works significantly faster than Sync via iCloud (although as far as security is concerned, I trust iCloud more).
The cross-platform experience (Mac OS, Windows 10, iOS (both iPhone and iPad) is unbeatable in favor of the iP8. The application works the same everywhere.

What is still missing in IP8 compared to IP7 is a significant lack of customization options and the removal of proven useful features in IP8.

I'm testing the Nightly release on one of the machines, although I still don't see significant improvements compared to the standard release, I expect an improvement in the coming weeks.

I also left IP7 installed everywhere until further notice. It works the same as before.

I'm noticing that search or find doesn't find matches in all fields in 1p8. Shouldn't 'all fields' be the default in 1p8? If no, where is that option?

Specific example: if you have bank accounts or drivers licenses that include the numbers or characters '1234' in that sequence in them, in custom or standard fields, search/find should match them. It does not.
