Onboarding to 1Password 8 is very painful.

Hi @kop48, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on your onboarding experience with us! I'm happy to say that a few of these are already actively being discussed by the team. I was hoping that you could expand on what you mean by your third point. I can read it a couple of different ways depending on where I put the emphasis:

Login via the browser only provides instructions on how to find login details on other clients

or

Login via the browser only provides instructions on how to find login details on other clients

Or perhaps there's another option that I'm not considering. If you'd like to clarify, I'd be happy to take that, along with the other points that you've raised, back to the team.

@mverde - I was expecting browser login to be closer to OAuth, whereby I can authenticate to my account in the browser, and it then passes the login cookie back to the app. I think that this would be mostly mitigated if 1P8 either: a) imported settings from the 1P7 install; or b) allowed use of QR codes to fill in most of the details.

Honestly, just showing a hint that CAPS LOCK is on and auto-formatting the secret key so that folks don't need to turn it on and insert dashes would probably be good enough :)

Hey there @kop48, thanks for this feedback!

I was expecting browser login to be closer to OAuth, whereby I can authenticate to my account in the browser, and it then passes the login cookie back to the app.

If you have signed into your 1Password account in the browser already, you should be presented with an option to pass the account details from the browser to the app, only requiring your account password in order to add the account - here's what that looks like:

It did not do that! Is this because I was using the 'older' extension and not the 'standalone' 1Password Browser one?

@kop48:

Yes, you should make sure you use the latest 1Password in the browser extension (currently version 2.0.5), to get the most out of 1Password Early Access :+1:

Please bring back the caps lock icon.

Thank you for the feedback @hcilamp, noted!

Was setting up v8 on my son's Windows 10 machine yesterday--the caps issue in the secret code got me. I expected that either that field would automatically convert to caps, or could read it either way. Was a pain to go back and re-enter the whole thing again...

@rpallred

The Secret Key is not case sensitive, and the dashes are optional. I confirmed this by adding one of my accounts to 1Password 8 and using a mix of capital and lower case letters and omitting some of the dashes. That said I'll be happy to pass along the suggestion to the team that they automatically capitalize it and add the dashes for visual conformity during entry.

Thanks!

Thanks for checking--I must have mistyped the first time and blamed it on the lowercase letters.
