Where do you set the default vault for new items?

@DoubleJ, @PDarb, and @askaem

Thank you for the feedback and for sharing how important this feature is for you and your families! 🙂

I and family are really awaiting the iOS version with default vault reinstated

I want to add my vote for being able to set a default vault. Right now default is the private one which means shared passwords are often accidentally private because someone forgets to change the vault on save. I also need a small number of private passwords but that’s the exception.

Good news! You can now set a default vault when using 1Password for iOS:

1. Open the main 1Password app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you're using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
3. Tap General.
4. Set "Save new item in:" to the desired vault.

If you don't see this option then make sure that you're using the latest version of 1Password for iOS. 🙂

Windows has this feature

The feature should be in all the apps to the best of my knowledge.

So happy to have this feature! Will enable my wife and I to always know that we have access to newly created passwords. Thank you.

I'm happy to hear that you and your wife find the feature useful. 🙂

Hey there, I'd like to give plus one to this feature request, and here's my specific use-case. My wife and I share all our passwords. Life's easier for us that way. But every time we create passwords, they go into this personal vault. We don't even want a personal vault. It means she'll create something like a health insurance login for one of our kids or something for a bank account, and then we won't be able to access it, as expected, and then we each spend time doing some batch job where we sit down and migrate everything out of our personal vaults. I understand why the personal vault exists, but we don't want it for our use-case. Thanks!

EDIT: LOL! It's fixed! Yay!

Thank you for the feedback! You can now set the default vault in 1Password for iOS:

1. Open and unlock 1Password.
2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
3. Tap General.
4. Tap "Save new items in:" and then tap on the desired vault.

I hope that helps. 🙂
