1password8 Quick Menu is Awful to Use - HELP

The Problem - 1Pass8 New Workflow:
1. Click top nav menu icon
2. Click the quick menu option
3. Get the hideous floating menu, NOT IN FOCUS...?
4. Click INTO the floating menu,  just to start typing -- AGAIN, WHY DOES IT NOT AUTO FOCUS?
5. Type my search
6. Click the tiny 3 dots on the right just to GET the username / password -- WHY IS THE DEFAULT CLICK TO OPEN A NEW BROWSER PAGE?
7. Click each one to copy / paste them into the already open website. 

It's literally 4-5 more clicks than it used to be, just to get a username or password -  absolute peak garbage UX. I know this is pointless and I doubt there is a fix

Listen. The 1P Mini is gone and I certainly wouldn't advise you to hold your breath waiting on it to be restored. For better or worse, the company seems to be focused more on the enterprise rather than individual/family market. And in that market, the user base tends to be more power user "keyboard jockeys" who find the Quick Access user interface to be useful. Which is why the 1P menu bar item launches Quick Access by default. While I am a tech savvy, power user I am most definitely not a "keyboard jockey" and prefer an actual UI,  which is why I changed this setting to launch the main 1P window instead. On my machine, I find that it launches just as quickly as the old 1P Mini and obviously provides the same functionality and then some. It's the best you can do.

Hello @BringBackOldQuickMenu! 👋

Welcome to the community! I've merged your comments into one thread so that we can keep the conversation in the same place. I'm sorry that Quick Access isn't fitting into your needs, I'll definitely pass your feedback along to our product team internally and I have a few suggestions that might help. As a start I did want to respond to the following: 

Context - Can't Use The Browser Plugin: We cannot use the browser plugin, as it is easily gamed with chrome plugins being so insecure.

1Password in the browser is secure and the team has carefully engineered the browser extension to be secure against various threats. You can read more here: About the security of 1Password in your browser

Regarding the specific threat that you posted about, please have your IT team reach out to our support team at support@1Password.com. There are a variety of options to avoid the threat being discussed in that thread that include: educating employees not to install unknown extensions, locking down browsers on work devices to prevent installation of unapproved/unknown extensions, and more. 

The Problem - 1Pass8 New Workflow:

Quick Access is designed to be more efficient with keyboard shortcuts and that would be my recommendation. The workflow that you've mentioned can be accomplished in a few steps by doing the following: 

1. Press Shift-Command-Spacebar to open Quick Access. 
2. Type in the name of the item you're looking for. 
3. Press Shift-Enter to open the website in your browser. Navigate to the login page. 
4. Press Command-Backslash to fill your login without needing to copy and paste. 

You'll need to enable Universal Autofill for this workflow: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

Let me know if that doesn't fit your needs and I can help further.
