Re: Restrict items in Quick Access to the currently selected collection

Question

This old issue is still a problem in 2025 with 1Password 8.11.10. Is there a way to get Quick Access to respect the vaults set in the active Collection?

When using Quick Access, all vaults are always searched and this is extremely limiting and annoying. Especially because I have many items I rarely need or use tucked away in separate vaults which purposely do not appear in any of my Collections.

I'll also mention that this is especially problematic for business users with many team vaults. All of the vaults (including many team vaults I very rarely use or need but have access to) are searched from Quick Access and there doesn't appear to be any way to prevent this.

Hello @Michael_Mercuri! 👋I've merged your posts into one thread so that we don't have the same conversation in multiple places at the same time. 🙂Can you tell me a little more about the issue that you're running into so that I can reproduce it on my end? You can choose which collection of vaults you'd like to search through in Quick Access by clicking on the account/collection chooser: If you select a specific account or collection then you should only see search results from that account or collection. I look forward to hearing from you.-Dave

Quick Access will show items relevant to the open app, as well as frequently used items.

@1P_Timothy, with 1Password 8.11.10, that is not the case for me on both macOS and Linux. I find Quick Access searches every vault in every account, regardless of how infrequently I've used an item, even if I've never used the item.

Please see this old post from 2020, which is still relevant in 2025:
