Question

Why can't I edit this vault?

I have the new 1Password version on the mac (1Password for Mac 8.10.8 (81008045)), but when I right-click on a vault and try to edit it so I can change the icon -- in my own "Private" vault -- I'm greeted with "You can't edit this vault."

I don't see how to get around this problem (bug?)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello @Mork! 👋

Thank you for reporting the issue! I can reproduce the same behaviour myself and I've filed an issue for our developers to look into this further.

For the time being, you can change your Private vault's icon when you log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app). I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Dave.

It wasn't clear how to change the vault icon on the online account. Couldn't figure it out.

@Mork

I'm sorry for the confusion. You can change the icon for your Private vault on 1Password.com by followings these steps:

  1. Log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app).
  2. Click on the gear wheel below your Private vault.
  3. Click Edit Details.
  4. Click on the vault icon.
  5. Choose the new icon and then click Save.

Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂

Thanks, that worked! I'd have never seen how to do that without your help. :)

Hi,

I have the same problem on my mac. When I tap on the icon it says "you can't edit this vault".

It is not obvious from the thread how/if this was resolved as it ends by discussing changing the icon.

Thx

@Bakj

A bug report has been filed with the team. At present you would need to use 1Password.com if you're looking to change the icon.

No, I do not want to change the icon. I want to amend the vault.

Thx

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, this thread is discussing an issue that prevents a user from changing their Private vault's icon.

Can you tell me a little more about how you'd like to "amend the vault"? Are you trying to change the name of the Private vault? Or some other attribute of the vault?

Hi Dave,

My apologies for misunderstanding. There is a 'fit for travel' feature that I would like to use for this vault, however it looks like this feature is only available if you can amend the vault?

Thank you

Jeffrey
