Question

IP8 "Default Vault for Saving"

In IP7, it was hard to find the "Default Vault for Saving", but in IP8, I am totally lost as to where to find it. I tried searching the support web site and 10 items were found. Zero of the 10 items actually had the text "default vault for saving"! There is list of vaults under settings and no place in Settings that I can find to set the "default vault for saving".

How do I change IP8 to save new items to a specific shared value, rather than my private vault?

Thank you,

Ludicrous that we have to “vote” for what is a no-brainer…
If this is not fixed by the time my subscription renews I will not be renewing.

Anyways, here’s my vote also.

I just upgraded my family to 1PW 8. Regretting this decision based on this. Is there a way to revert?

@Aober, version 7 of the app should be available in your list of previously downloaded apps in the App Store (Account -> Purchased) or from here https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/1password-password-manager/id568903335

Then delete version 8 until (if?!) 1P get this fixed.

Thank you for the guidance. I am pretty sure my wife and I caused this problem when we updated her machine to 1PW 8 "real quickly before work." I have been a 1PW user for years and recommend it widely (even in lastpass environments) but this feature change will make my family password situation incredibly challenging.

This one is absolutely NUTS. Just NUTS. I have access to >100 vaults. I just realized this basic functionality was removed from 1Password. I've had to manually check every single record that's been updated since the release of 1P8. Please for the love of all that is holy please add back the basic functionality that made 1P the best.

Moreover @AgileBits, What is exact behavior that 1Password uses to select a vault to save in? I cannot for the life of me consistently reproduce were 1Password saves new records. It seems to be completely at random and 100% not consistent across devices. It's pretty infuriating.

this is bad - so many times, a login doesn't work because it was saved to my Personal vault, which seems to be default vault when you create a new login from the home screen (iOS or macOS); in macOS, I can at least set the default vault which for some strange reason has to be done via the Safari extension prefs not the app prefs; however, this setting is being ignored as I still end up with new items in my Personal vault

please implement the ability to set a default vault for all devices and ensure this feature works!

How is this function not in anymore?! Definitely an upvote from me to have it added in again.

Please enable the ability to default saved passwords to shared vault outside of browser extension. this is a a no brainer feature since it is already allowed in the browser extensions but needs to be extended to the mac and windows apps as well as the ios and android apps.

Please re-enable the ability to set a default vault on a per person basis. Thank you.
