Quick Access and resizing windows

I'm also going to be downgrading from 8 back to 7... v8 breaks 1Password in every way I use it. Quick Access is annoying... I want my favorites list, or suggestions, or something other than a blank field when I click on the macOS menu bar. Why can't I resize windows?! I have a huge screen, why can't I use more of it?!

Hello @trusswalker! 👋

I've split your comment into a separate thread so that we can focus on the specific issues that you've reported. I do want to apologize that you're running into issues but I want to assure you that the team and I are here to help.

Quick Access is annoying... I want my favorites list, or suggestions, or something other than a blank field when I click on the macOS menu bar.

Can you tell me a little more about your workflow here? Are you searching for an item because you'd like to fill it into the browser?

Why can't I resize windows?! I have a huge screen, why can't I use more of it?!

You can resize the main 1Password 8 window to be as large or as small as you wish. Which window specifically are you trying to resize?

I look forward to hearing from you. 😊

Granted, I'm an "old-school" user of 1Password from the early days of it being around, so I'm sure I have ways of using the app that are outdated and there might be "better ways", but I had a visceral negative reaction to interacting with it. And this was after listening to all sorts of podcasters saying how well it worked for them (Jason Snell, Stephen Hacket, ATP guys, and so on...). I'm aware of and have opinions about Electron vs a native Mac app. But if it works well, okay... Some of the feedback will be tricky as I've already moved back to v7.9.4 and won't be able to recreate or screenshot it for you.

When I'm just in the Finder and I click on 1P in the finder menu bar, I have it set to show me my favorites. I'm constantly needing to grab my Apple ID password for some OS-level thing or a Teams login for work (seemingly every 30 sec) and it's faster/simpler to just have them there a single click away vs some number of keystrokes. I'm aware that v8 can fill passwords straight into apps, and I didn't really make it that far to test that it would figure out every esoteric instance of a modal request for a password, but this is a fundamental change to my expected behavior of the app. Not having a preference setting for what it displays by default is a loss for me.

The Quick Access menu did not allow me to resize it. I tried every corner and it was very resolute in its size. In v7.9.4, even though it doesn't hold the window size between restarts of the computer (why?), it does hold it once I set it.. and allows me to set the size. I enlarge the Quick Access window because I want to see both my username and password unobstructed. Sometimes there's an additional warning about a duplicate password (which it's not, it's just my same work password that's used in two different portals).

I'll continue to answer whatever questions you have... happy to help. If there's an upside, I was happy at how relatively easy it was to roll back to 7.9.4 (the Safari extension took some convincing and a reboot to kill the new one and restore the old one).
