1Password 8 for Mac downgrades & needed improvements

In 1Password 8 for Mac, I can no longer click on a login icon and paste the icon. I have to save a file so I can choose it. That requires many more steps than copy and paste. I did this ALL the time in version 7, so this is a major downgrade. Please put that feature back in!

When creating a memorable password, there's no option to have it add a number. I think in version 7 I'd type in the number manually, but now I can't edit the password until after it's made. So please include the ability to edit the password as it's being made (which we should be able to do), and/or at least add an option to add a number (which many passwords require). This seems like such an simple oversight I'd amazed it has never been fixed.

Not being able to resize the 1Password browser pop-up is annoying. I have a large screen and not being able to make the pop-up bigger so I can see all the info (such as long titles in the left column (which should be resizable) seems like a waste of available screen space.

I'm using Safari as my browser.

Hi folks,

Thanks for all your feedback here.

I've added your voice to an internal issue we have on this.

As mentioned elsewhere, while I can't make any promises, reordering fields and sections is something that's on our radar. This is the first release of 1Password 8 for Mac, but it isn't the final one, so we'll continue to iterate on it as time goes on.

I can barely remember people asking for section re-ordering something like 5/6 years ago. Crossing fingers now ;)

Hi @bestlem:

To switch back to 1Password 7, move 1Password 8 to the Trash from your Applications folder (you may need to quit it fully first from the menu bar), then unzip the 1Password 7 zip that was created when you installed 1Password 8.
