How to set a SHARED vault as the default vault for all new LOGIN entries to 1Password?

I have a Personal vault and a shared Vault (shared with my wife). I want to have ALL new LOGIN entries in 1Password entered into our SHARED vault. I cannot find a way to do this and every new entry seems to, by default, be entered into my Personal vault. I discover this only later when I can't find a new entry in our Shared vault and have to manually move the new entry to our Shared vault. How can I have all new LOGIN entries automatically default to our shared vault. Is there a pref. setting that I simply can't find?

@AMCarter3

Andrew was referring to this dialog box that you'll see when using 1Password in the browser:

The "Save in 1Password" button there will obey the "Save new items in" preference that you've chosen in the 1Password extension's Settings, as per Tommy's instructions above.

I hope that clarifies it, but let me know if you need any more help. :)
