1Password v8 is a Mistake

Why do you think we were all screaming when the VCs came in. This was guaranteed, the question was just when.

Thank you for your concern @ibuys and @blankspace!

The 1Password 8 might look like it is ready for release but this is a very first public beta of the app. And we hope to get more feedback from users like you about the features that are missing or the bugs that need to be fixed before the official release

Thank you again ❤️

No, it's NOT a beta, this is a serious overstatement—this is alpha at best.

Damn, @krusnof. Harsh but true. ❤️

You know I am actually impressed you’re commenting after the backlash that’s been said here. The fact remains I’ve canceled my subscription and won’t be renewing. Im not getting stuck with yet another electron app. It’s bad enough I have to deal with all the others. You couldn’t even make the effort to use WebKit which shares almost identical front end code with electron without the insane bloat. Honestly it’s a slap in the face to us paying customers after all these years.

@blankspace Understood. But I am still sad that after so many years you abandoned us without giving the new app a chance. It certainly needs more work as @krusnof mentioned but I truly believe that it is the best version of 1Password we shipped so far (have you tried to at least edit an item in 1Password 8 and see how much better it is compared to version 7?)

Anyway, I hope you will find what you are looking for. We still love you 🙏

@roustem I've just tried this - there is literally no difference in the speed between editing items. Functionality wise, given menus don't display outside of the 1P8 window, and get cut off, I'd actually venture as far as saying its a step backwards from 1P7, not forwards.

@gussic Sorry, I wasn't clear about item editing. The speed should be fine everywhere but the fact that I can barely enter a date in 1Password 7 was driving me crazy. And there are so many other small problems that completely break the experience for me in 1P7.

@roustem Genuine question, how many users do you think regularly need to enter dates into their password manager? It just seems that you're patching all these issues that weren't really problems for 99.9% of the user base?

@roustem I think you're focusing on such a small facet of a bigger picture of what's not working and what people are not satisfied with. Again, read the case study on Arq 5 > 6 (disaster Electron) > 7.
