Question

Tag list and/or autocomplete suggestions in "Save new item" popup

Please make it easier for me to pick existing tags with this browser popup, ideally with a dropdown list and autocomplete suggestions while I'm typing. It reduces the chance from duplicate tags whether due to typos (wrok vs. work), synonyms (work vs. job), case (Work vs. work), or anything else.
I don't use tags very often, so it's hard for me to remember exactly what tags I've already created, and I inevitably have to edit the new item after creating it just to fix the tags.

Hey @nukmicah! Thanks for the feedback on this. 🙂

Sorry for any inconvenience cause with having to alter your items after saving them. I completely get where you're coming from on this, and agree that this functionality would be quite useful. We already have an internal feature request open that addresses this, so I'll go ahead and add your vote in its support.

Cheers!

@"paul.m_1p" I would appreciate this feature also. It would prevent double handling when I add temporary tag and then use the 1PW8 app to add the correct tag(s) to the item.

Hello, I am just adding my .02c to this request. For reference I am running 1Password for Windows 8.9.5. As someone who has many, many different items in 1Password with many different tag structures this would be very helpful. The need for this feature rises especially when you start getting into nested tags for your items. Since there is no auto-complete or checking, the system will create whatever you type in which for me results in the creation of duplicate tags (some even have the same spelling/spacing etc which doesn't make sense). This can be frustrating because there is no way to then right-click a group of items and bulk-edit the tags (which is another feature that would be fantastic) to fix your mistake. If I am creating an item from the browser I will normally just create it without the tags then go into the desktop app and add them later. If I have duplicate tags or nested tags I will normally right-click >> rename tag to something different, then right-click >> rename tag back to the name of the original tag - that seems to wake up the system and it then merges the items under each dupe tag into the same tag group, if that makes sense. Thanks!

I would like to echo this request. As a recent new user coming from LastPass, the lack of suggestions/autocomplete from existing tags has been one of the more frustrating transitions.

Add my vote...I agree with what was said above by others.

I came to the forum for this exact reason. Auto-fill or a pickable list of tags would be a huge plus when editing a password or other items via Chrome.

We are considering migrating from LastPass to 1Password, but there are 2 things that are holding us back. They basically come down to the same thing: the fact that there is no folder structure and the fact that the tag system is so user-unfriendly and prone to errors. Should the above suggestions be implemented, that would probably work for us to replace our current folder structure, but at this point it's really holding us back.

Hey @kfoesenek,

Thank you for your feedback.

Can you provide me with some more information on what you are referring to when you say there is no folder structure? You can create separate vaults to categorize your items and although I agree that assigning a tag isn't very intuitive when saving an item in your browser, within the 1Password desktop app you can assign tags to items by editing the item and adding a tag and this will auto suggest a tag when you start typing. In addition, you can highlight multiple items and drag and drop them to a tag to assign it to multiple items at once.

I'd love to understand a little more about your workflow and how we can improve 1Password to suit your use case so I can pass this information on to our product team for consideration.

Thank you!
