A separate Favorite list for each family member

I noticed that in the past others have asked for the ability to create a separate favorites list for each family. Is there any information about 1Password's current view on this request or estimated implementation date?

Hello @astandre! 👋

Thank you for reaching out! Changing favourites to be per-user rather than per-item is a request that is in our product team's backlog but there are prerequisites that have to be developed first before the team can consider making the change. Each item is responsible for declaring whether it is a favourite or not, this system was developed in a time when sharing items in 1Password wasn't as common as it is now. Before favourites can be made per-user this per-item metadata has to be moved out of the item and into a new user-specific layer in the database. Creating this user-specific layer requires some architecture work and, for the moment, this work is yet to be done.

That being said, I've added your comment to the open feature request for this change. Hopefully this is something that can be done in the future.

Since it feels like all discussions on this topic have been closed in the past 6 years (without any plausible, comprehensible explanation), I'm opening a new one.

Problem:
Favourites are organisation-related and not user-related. This makes absolutely no sense, as HR or Marketing, for example, have completely different favourites than, for example, Technicians or the SOC.

Solution:
Implement favourites at user level instead of organisation level

or let me put it another way: .... you don't have to eat pizza hawaii just because it's your flatmate's favourite pizza, do you?

Hello @1psidctm! 👋

Thanks for following up! I see that my colleague previously filed a feature request on your behalf with the team, that request is still open and I don't have any updates to share at the moment. I've made a note internally that this is still something that you'd like to see changed in how 1Password's favourites work.

Old discussions are closed automatically by the system once there hasn't been any new activity for some time. This is to keep the forum clean and focused on the current state/version of 1Password. The feature request that was filed on your behalf internally remains open even if the discussion thread closes. You're always welcome to open a new thread (like this) if you'd like an update or to continue the conversation from an old thread that was closed. 🙂

Please add us (tapconet.com) to your list of people needing this fix. In a large, mixed, team, the lack of scope control for Favorites severely limits their utility. And since Favorites automatically rise to the top when using the browser extensions, they just get in the way. We fear users will try to use other password manager solutions rather than 1Password, and we'll lose the centralized management & control we have.

We see reddit responses from your staff, dating back at least two years, which basically echo what you've said here, "The favourite status is currently baked into the item data, which coincidentally makes it more difficult to change..." This really needs to move up the To Do list.

Hi,

I subscribe to the family plan, and it would be nicer (for me) if when I looked at my favorites I only saw mine, not my wife or kids.

These are for our shared items in common vaults.

I have several vaults:

Myself

Myself + wife

Myself + wife + kid1

Myself + wife + kid2

Myself + wife + kid1 + kid2

It's those shared accounts (mostly with the kids). It's nice they can favorite their stuff, but I would rather not see it. I realize I might be using this unconventionally, but I have been a 1PW user for 15+ years, and my kids were infants when I first started some of their accounts.

Can I make a feature request that would set the favorite for the vault on a per user basis ?

So Kid1 can favorite web site x in the vault "Myself + wife + kid1", but it's not one of my favorites.

Anyone else use 1PW this way ?

I realize I could split apart all their stuff in their personal Kid1 vault, but when they call home and need help with web site x or whatever, it's nice that I can log in from my local machine and help out.

Thanks for explaining this so clearly! I've gone ahead and submitted this as a feature request for our Product team to take a look at.
