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,

I would also love to see this feature return to iOS. When setting up 1P for less tech savvy family members, they may save things to the wrong vault, then I can’t help them when they’re trying to get into something.

@1P_Dave I have this issue too ... I have to say that 1P continues to make it hard for me to be an advocate, and to stay a loyal user. When will the IOS version fix this ??? I am fed up with weekly having to move all of my logins out of Personal vault to my preferred, because they were saved in error to Personal

Me too.

Also add a vote to don't change/delete existing things without advanced warning.

What I really wish, as long as we're dreaming, is I could go somewhere to see lists all the changes to each release for each version divided into bug fixes, function changes and UI changes. I keep stumbling over new, useful things by accident I never new had been added and fumbling around the UI looking for how do things that have moved/changed.

@1P_Dave
Thank you and the rest of the 1Password Team for adding back in the default vault designation with the latest release. I see that the latest release includes the ability to set a default vault. I looked on my iPad which is the only device with 1Password 8 on it and the option is there and appears to work with the minor testing I did. Time to take another look at 1Password 8 to put together some install/config guides for myself and my wife. They will help us have a consistent configuration and workflow.
