Question

Order of the accounts offered to enter a password

We have a family account for 1Password. 
We each have our own (I don't mean the private) vault and a shared vault.
If someone in the family now wants to automatically fill in a password field from 1Password, e.g. Paypal, then my daughter's entry - the father's - is offered first. 
However, I would like to have it so that my daughter's entry is displayed first before the other family members' accounts are listed.

How can I achieve this so that my own items are always displayed first and then those of the other people? Is that even possible?

    Hi, you can try this:

    Mark your most used Login as a favorite:

    - Open 1Password and find your own PayPal login.
    - Click on "More Options" (•••) > Add to Favorites.

    1Password should now prioritise favourite items in autofill suggestions.

    If you have a family account, why not set up each user with their own private vault rather than having all credentials in a Shared Vault(s)?  This would remove the issue you're facing.

    Or are you saying that you all share one Personal account across your family (same email, password, secret key for all users), but you use it as a shared account?  If this is the case, @mkaru's idea wouldn't work because as everyone is adding favorites, it will show everyone's favorites across all other users signed in.

    I must have expressed myself incorrectly.

      1. there is a family account
      2. all members have their own personal private vault and a personal vault
      3. there is a vault where selected accounts are stored that are used jointly by the family.
      4. every Member has it's own Account with email and password

        so i will give it a try with what @mkaru wrote... Thanks so far...
