Going backwards. Also lost long press for Copy of 1Password fields.
Major regression of 2 features that I used all day every day.

Thank you both for sharing your feedback, +1's have been added.

@5davee, if you have previously installed 1Password 7 and still have access to the account that was used to do so in Google Play, 1Password 7 may still be available with these steps:
1. Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
2. Tap the account icon in the search bar and select the account used to install 1Password 7.
3. From the same menu, tap Manage apps and device.
4. Tap Manage.
5. Tap the Installed drop down.
6. Tap Not Installed.
7. Search for and select 1Password.
8. Tap Install.

In some version of Google Play, the steps are slightly different. After tapping your account icon if you see My apps & games you can follow these steps instead: tap My apps & games > Library > Not on this device > Search for and select 1Password 7 > Install.

@semloh99, for copying fields we would like to unify the behavior across apps and pins. While I don't have a timeline to share we are looking into changing the workflow from what it currently is in item view with 1Password 8 for Android (tap > copy). Thanks again!

@1P_Timothy Unfortunately, it's an iPad, not an Android I'm dealing with. Is there something similar for an iPad?

Thanks for clarifying that @5davee. I'm not too familiar with the App Store but I can see my colleague shared this for a similar question on the iOS side of the forum:

If you've downloaded 1Password 7 on your iPhone or iPad before, you can find it in your "Purchased" section in the App Store. Use the "Not on this iPhone/iPad" toggle to help find it.

@1P_Timothy That works! Thank you!

Yet another person here asking for the pin feature in version 8. I'll be removing 8 and using 7 until this feature exists. If you completely deprecate 7 without adding this feature to 8, I'll be looking for another password manager.

Hi @anothercustomer, thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry to hear this has been a roadblock for you updating to 1Password 8 and I can understand your frustration.

I've shared your thoughts with the team. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with at this time. Thanks again!
