Feature Request: Per-user favourites

60 replies
2594 views

I have only a few favorites in 1Password and this was an excellent way to find "My Favorites". All of a sudden, I am now seeing favorites which other people who have shared vaults are marking as their favorites. The odd thing is, I can turn them off if I want, but then that removes it from their favorite list.

Is there a way to have our own favorites only show up in favorites. We have a large team of people sharing vaults from different cities. I am not enjoying searching through everything to find mine. I may as well not use favorites anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. There isn't an expected release date that the team and I can share. 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.

The metadata that stores whether an item is favourited exists in the item itself using the faveIndex value:

If an item is favourited then "faveIndex": 1.
If an item isn't favourited then "faveIndex": 0.

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 faveIndex 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.

Personally, I'd love to see user-specific favourites and I'll continue to push for the feature internally. And, if I do come across any updates that I can share then I'll make sure to update this thread. 🙂

Hi @Orko, thanks for raising this question with us. Can you let me know what version of 1Password 8 you're using? You can find this under Settings > About. I'll be happy to follow up on this for you.

Hi @Orko, back once again. 👋

It turns out this is an expected behavior from the current version of 1Password, although we recognize that it can create some strange happenings between users as you've mentioned here. To explain a bit:

Currently, the "favorite" status is a property of the item itself, which means that a "favorite" applied to an item happens globally, rather than on a per-user basis. We can certainly see why a per-user favorite approach would be useful in cases like the one you've mentioned, and we have an open request for our development team to look into how this can be done.

While I can't promise anything on when this kind of a change might make it to future version of 1Password, it is on our radar and we'll collect customer feedback about it going forward - and I've just now added your request with a link to this discussion to our existing issue. Thank you again for asking about this!

I second this feature request. I have been using 1Password for my family for a long time and this has been a most annoying gap in the UX.

I am managing 1Password Business for over 600 people and this would basically make everyones daily workflow way easier. Personal favorites are absolutly the highest requested feature by the users.
At the current state favorites are basically impossible to use in our context.
