How to change the Category assigned to a record

Please, add my +1 vote to the feature request as well. I understand that the default fields are different per category, and it is actually very helpful to have those when creating a new item. But once the item is in the vault, one may want to change its category for whatever reason (a mistake was committed when creating the item, new categories have been introduced by 1Password in the meantime😀, etc). The current approach to create a new item and make a copy-paste is not a sustainable approach if one's vault is large (which is in my case!).

There is also a related and, I believe, also long requested feature, namely the ability to create one's own category. As far as I am concerned, 1P has become more than just a password holder application; despite its name, it is the best simple database system around that is user friendly, works on tons of systems, is encrypted, etc.. (E.g., I use it to hold, in a separate vault, the basic biblio data of all my books.) I would love to have my own category for these, beyond the generic 'secure note' that I use now...

Thanks for your great work @AshBee, @AliH1P. Your product is great and has become a fundamental tool for me.

And a happy new year for everyone!

+1, especially when you move away from another PWM like LastPass

Hello @iherman and @mopperle,

Thanks so much for your feedback and kind words! I've passed votes for this feature to change the category type along to the Product team.

@iherman - with regard to your additional comments about that long-requested feature of creating custom items or categories, I've included a vote on your behalf in the request we're tracking.

Happy New Year!

+1
(Especially from "Secure Note" to any other category. Just put the note contents in the Categories notes field.)

Thanks @SeaMonster - I've added your feedback for the team's consideration.

All the entries I imported from KeePassXC are in the Login category. How do I change the category to "Credit Card"?

1Password Version: 8.10.0
Extension Version: 2.7.0

Hello again @CecilChesser,

Thanks for your question. I've merged your message into a related thread to keep things tidy.

If this item is used to store your login credentials for a credit card account, this item should remain as a login item. If this an item you're looking to use fill your credit details, you can create a new Credit Card item to save those details there:
* 1Password for Windows - Create and edit items
* Save and fill credit cards and addresses

Categories are templates used when creating an item and cannot be changed, but I've updated our internal request with the Product team, noting that you've expressed interest in a way to change the category type of an item.

If you have any other questions, let us know and we'd be happy to help!

+1 to change category. I need to fix a few entries.
