1Password desktop app reopens to the default collection or All Accounts

I'm using the latest version on my mac (1Password for Mac 8.10.58 81058041, on PRODUCTION channel) and almost everytime I open 1p I have to set the collection to the one I want -- it sets the one with all the vaults. What I'm doing wrong?! This is like that for years already! And it is very annoying as sometimes I forget to change and end up using an old passord from my archieve vault.

Thank you.

Hello @aribenboim! 👋

I'm sorry that the 1Password app isn't remembering the last collection that you had open. We've been able to reproduce this issue on our end and an investigation is open to get this fixed in a future version of 1Password.

When the issue is fixed you'll see it noted in our release notes.

Can we get the Mac version to allow you to select the vaults that you want to see by default like the browser plugin does? (Not as ideal but still works better than current) Or, can we have a setting where we can select a collection of vaults like the iOS setting where it has show filling suggestions from…

Ideally the different apps would unify how accounts, vaults, and wether there are collections or not. They way you could either set a default set of vaults that are visible, or you could create collections and select which collection to open to by default.

My preference would be that all apps would have collections. That you would be able to select the default collection for launch and autofill. Then you could make a second selection to on an app by app basis to go with the default setting or per app have a different starting point.

For now just a simple open here and use for autofill setting would suffice.

You can already choose which vaults appears in the 1Password app using collections: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

There is currently a bug (as reported in this thread) where the 1Password app will forget the chosen collection. A bug report is open and active with our development team.

In terms of choosing which collection is used for AutoFill you can find that setting here:

Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
Click on 1Password next to the Apple logo in the menu bar.
Click Settings.
Click AutoFill.
Change “Show filling suggestions from” to the desired collection.

Let me know if I misunderstood.

Right the Mac has vaults, collections, and autofill settings, but no default collection setting. Not open where it was last but open to this collection. The iOS app has vaults, collections, and autofill settings fill, no default view setting but does actually work to go back to the right collection that was last used. But the browser plugin does not recognize collections. It just has select which vaults you want to view and autofill from.

The browser method is clunkier but works. The collection one is smoother but not universally adopted and lacks a default collection setting to control where the start point is. It is like collections are an excellent way to seperate things like work, personal, family. But lacks the critical setting to make it really work. I also would like to see collections in the browser plugin. Not an alternate method to achieve the same end.

I have the same annoying issue that started about 2-3 months ago. There is no option select default collecion in Mac app, but somehow this was working earlier. I don’t understand what changed and how it is so hard to fix. Please fix.

I have this issue as well.

Can we please revert the passkey extra authentication change as well?

1Password is slowly becoming actively hostile to users. Not sure why this change in direction is taking place - but it’s very concerning.

@khaosspawn

I’m sorry you’re experiencing the same issue. Could you let me know whether it’s happening on macOS, Windows, or another platform? I’ll include that information in the report I share with our development team.

Regarding your feedback about passkeys, please see this thread. If it doesn’t match what you’re experiencing, please start a new thread so we can keep this one focused on the collection issue.

I really do not think this issue is fixed in either 1password for Windows or any browser plugins. It is very frustrating. Please 1password team revisit this thread and similar

@iloveusernames

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, we’ve received other reports of the chosen collection being forgotten in the 1Password for Windows app and our development team is investigating.

or any browser plugins

I don’t believe I’ve seen recent reports of this behaviour. Can you tell me when you last saw this occur in your browser? Are you using multiple 1Password accounts? And which browser are you using?

Hi Dave, thank you for taking the time.

This Test failed on Windows 11 Home (older computer). I only have access to this computer today and the test passed / could not re-create. Which is both good and bad at the same time!

Environment

OS: Windows 11 Pro
App: 1Password for Windows 8.12.40 (81240031)
User type: Family manager

Steps to reproduce

In the Windows app, set the collection to “Custom 1”.
Trigger one of the following:
- Lock the app (set auto-lock to 1 minute and wait)
- Shut down the computer
- Restart the computer
Open the app and enter the master password.

Expected result: The collection stays on “Custom 1”.

Actual result:

Window Home: The collection defaults back to the family manager’s email address instead of “Custom 1”.
Windows Pro: Test Passes
