New early access update is now available

@viswiz

The old AgileBits would have released the new sharing feature with accompanying security whitepapers. Not this time…

Not to get too far off topic here but the white paper does include the new sharing feature (pg. 24), and was updated not long after the launch of the feature.

1Password Security Design White Paper

P.S. I did notice the date in the change log says 2020, and it should be 2021. I've notified the folks who work on the white paper so we can get that fixed up.

Hi @1P_Ben , It's really exactly what @viswiz and @"J.M" has outlined.
Now I WILL say, after using 1password8 for the past few days, I'm trying to be open minded about the change in behavior and could provide a suggestion...
For 'my' use case, the way the search works in kinda looking for substrings vs just a raw global 'string' search, is kinda nice in that it 'likely' will have more relevant results 99% of the time. I'm 'assuming' this provides a performance benefit?
My 'suggestion', is maybe to leave it as is, for that, but provide an 'advanced search' (or 'search all') option, that would perform an entire search knowing it would be slower and have to crawl the database in a different way?

@MacKopes

Thanks for confirming. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a separate issue. :+1: We do have plans to continue to make search better. I don't have specific details that I can share right now, but it is absolutely on the radar to offer more advanced options here.

We released a new update to our beta channel today. Build number 80400054.

It resolved a rare issue that prevented the 1Password client app from sharing lock state with browser extensions on windows. It has a handful of other goodies like simplifying the process of adding multiple 1Password accounts and 1Password can now prompt for biometric unlocking in more circumstances.

This release supersedes 80400040 as a release candidate for our official launch of 1Password 8 on Windows as well as the 8.4 stable update on Linux.

You can find a full set of changes in our release notes for macOS , Windows , and Linux. Or, select the What’s New item from the feedback menu within the app.

As always, thank you for all your feedback, as a result we've been able to polish a few more things in 1Password 8 on Windows.

Thank you for all your encouragement, everyone! 🤗

It's been a long and fun road and today we officially released 1Password 8 for Windows. Thanks to everyone who helped made this milestone possible. ❤️

As mentioned above, there's still plenty of work left to do and many amazing things to create. This really is just one step on our path and with your help we'll continue pushing things forward. There's a Mac release to tackle in the new year, better search is always needed, and just last week I was sorely in need of the ability to reorder fields in one of my items. Thankfully our job is never done. 🙂

Just for clear:
Does 1Password 8 support local vaults?

@AN124: 1Password 8 requires a 1Password Membership relies exclusively on 1Password.com (or .ca🇨🇦 or .eu🇪🇺). Data from iCloud or Dropbox or WLAN Sync can be migrated over to a new account.

If you're interested in the longer story on the history of standalone vaults and why we've decided to say goodbye to them, I wrote about it at length in this forum comment.

I hope that helps. Take care,

@1P_Ben thanks.. I was expecting a new security whitepaper and as the existing one seems to be dated didn't have a closer look at it.

I'm deeply disappointed that a version with lots of regressions and bugs is now officially released. Yes, bugs were fixed during early access but none of the bigger issues was addressed. You kept telling us that you were listening and considering the feedback but still...
* the sidebar is pretty much useless for people with only a couple of vaults - it's now optimized for enterprise users with lots of vaults and accounts only
* search is useless unless you know exactly how to type the search term
* the ui is more like a "hollywood" ui we know from movies - especially on macOS and although this version isn't released yet I fear you are going to ignore the feedback as well
* changed almost all shortcuts
* no easy reveal of passwords - not even as an option
* problems with non us keyboard shortcuts
* quick access showing all kind of unrelated processes
* ...
