1Password Mini Not Copying Shown Password

Hey @kirkvan, can you share a bit more about your use cases for wanting the password generator to be so prevalant without wanting to save those passwords as items in 1Password? For most folks we've talked to, if they generate a new password it's because they want that saved as an item to use later. I'd like to better understand the use cases so we can think through how/why/where we can improve things here with all of the relevant information.

... It seems like all keyboard shortcuts which bring up the Quick Access window should behave in the same way, no?

The big difference here is that Command+\ has always autofilled a Login without showing any UI at all if you only have one login for the current site, where the other shortcut is to show the UI in order to search for things for all sorts of purposes. Command+\ only shows the UI if it isn't sure which item to fill to help you find which one you wanted. That's the reasoning behind the two shortcuts with different behavior. Having autofill inside of apps as well as web browsers has definitely changed expectations here for some folks though as previously, because there was no autofill in apps, it would feel like Command+\ was the same as the other shortcut whenever you weren't in a browser (previous "show UI" shortcut was Shift+Command+\ in 1Password 7).

Regarding "lock on quit" ... if you had a setting like that turned on, and you activate the shortcut for Quick Access which requires you to unlock, would you then expect it to be locked every time you activate Quick Access again? Even if it's within a minute or two? With the menu bar icon running, the app is never really "quit" as John mentioned, so a lot of people think of "quit" as different things. And things like that are the big gotchas with "lock on quit" as a feature. It's been confusing for a lot of folks and in the past has ended up frustrating more than it's helped in my experience. But we are definitely keeping track of feedback like this and considering it!

Use case for Password Generator: As a Mac consultant, I often send clients sensitive information in the form of a password protected .pdf. This is a one-off thing and I call them with the password to open the .pdf. I don’t ever need to know the password again, so saving it to 1Password would only clutter my vault.

Hi @Kirkvan:

Thanks for sharing. While I can't promise anything, as Dan mentioned, we're continuing to think through how / when / where we can improve things.

In addition to my feature requests above, I would also like to suggest that the "Copy Username" and "Copy Password" shortcuts in grey text at the bottom of the Quick Access window be clickable. And am I missing the options to "Reveal" and/or "Show In Large Type" options in the QuickAccess window?

Many thanks!

Hi @Kirkvan:

Thanks for your feedback on that, I'll make sure to share it with the team.
