Question

Copying and Pasting Icons

I first commented on the subject of loosing the ability to copy and past icons in version 8, some four years ago. Since then I have mislaid my community login and password and so have reenrolled as a new user.

I administer a family account. We have collectively, 7 x MAC desktops, 2 x Windows desktops, 7 x iPhones, 8 x iPads.  The ability to create entries in 1Password with identical icons is important to all users. For those, less technically confident, the icon provides a secure and confident way to recognise entries - many within a shared vault.  Individuals, when automatically offered the upgrade in their 1password app, thought, as instructed by me over many years, to keep their apps up to date for security reasons. Having upgrade their iPhones, iPads etc to version 8, the very first calls and emails to me, concerned the loss of the ability to copy and paste icons. Many thought it was a misunderstanding of the new version 8 - it wasn't. 

We still appear, not to have addressed this issue? As a consequence I had to uninstall everyones version 8 and reinstall versions 7. As I type this on a MAC desktop, I am the only user running version 8 on any device!! On my iPhone, I am running both versions, just so that I can utilise the 'copy and paste icon' facility.

Although you have provide in version 8 a 'dropdown' below the icon (in edit mode) providing 'choose a photo' and 'choose a file' - neither of these provide a suitable resolution to version 7 'copy paste'.

We use 1password in our family for everything, having spent years drumming into everyone the need to be secure and adhere to good password practices.  I feel everyone is missing out on he update of version 8 JUST because of a 'copy and paste' issue.

Please can you address this ASAP ? I'm sure that many have similar views even though the numbers may not reveal themselves in your community forum -  Out of our family, I am the only community user,  but they all have the same issue - their may well represent many other users who do not visit the community forum.

Thank you

Hello @sixtdb! 👋

Thanks for following up! The feature request is still open with our product team but it hasn't yet bubbled up as a feature to be built for 1Password 8. I'll let the team know that you'd still like to see it added to the current version of 1Password and I'll share the experience of you and your family. 

Out of curiosity, how often do you and your family add custom icons to items in 1Password? Are you adding them to a specific type of item? When it comes to Login items, 1Password will provide a rich icon automatically for most websites.

As a consequence I had to uninstall everyones version 8 and reinstall versions 7. 

I don't recommend that your family uses 1Password 7 anymore. 1Password 7 hasn't been updated for years and our team no longer tests it with current versions of iOS and macOS. Since 1Password stores the most important information in our lives, it's important to always use the latest version to remain protected.

Dear Dave,

I am writing again as a follow-up to my original message regarding custom icons. Members of my family are still having to use 1Password version 7, as it still allows the copy and paste of icons - version 8, still does not allow this. Rich icons automatically being provided by 1Password are not a reliable means by which 'icons' can be attributed. Many websites do not provide the necessary icon files.

I am somewhat disappointed that 1Password have still not addressed this very basic issue that was removed when updating to version 8? I originally posted a question about this just over 5 years ago - that's 5 YEARS AGO.  

My original post explained the importance of the visual icon to individuals who had learning disabilities. Is it the case that 1Password, as a company, doesn't recogise 'invisible disabilities'  and as such marginalize a whole segment of society and hence some of their customers.
