1Password on iOS/iPadOS always opens main vault instead of last collection

Hi,

I noticed an issue in the 1Password app on iOS and iPadOS regarding collections.

I have 5 collections in 1Password. In the past, the app used to remember the collection I last had open and would reopen there when I launched the app again. (I am not completely sure, but I also seem to remember there may once have been a setting related to opening in a collection.)

Now, whenever I open 1Password again after some time, it always opens the main vault instead, where I see all items from all collections. That is not the behavior I want.

I would expect 1Password to either:

  • remember the last opened collection and reopen it automatically, or
  • provide a setting that allows choosing a default collection to open

Current behavior:

After reopening the app (after a little while), 1Password always opens the main vault showing all items from all collections.

Expected behavior:

1Password should reopen the last used collection, or allow users to specify a collection that should open by default.

Why this is an issue:

I use collections to keep things separated, and opening the main vault every time makes navigation less convenient and defeats part of the purpose of using collections.

Hello folks! 

Our development team has released a fix for an issue where 1Password for iOS could reopen to All Accounts instead of your previously selected account.

Please update to 8.12.30 or later to get the fix: How to keep 1Password up to date

If you're still seeing the issue in 1Password for iOS, please let me know. We're also investigating similar reports on other platforms, such as macOS and Windows, but this fix is specific to iOS and doesn't apply to those platforms.

Nope. Still opening to all vaults. Would not have thought this was a hard one.

 

I’m using:

 

1Password for Mac 8.12.30 (81230019)

I’m sorry for the confusion. Please see my previous comment here, we’re currently testing a fix for the previously selected collection being reset on iOS in the latest beta version of 1Password for iOS (which is what this thread is discussing).

The issue on macOS appears to have a different cause and is being tracked separately in another thread here. A fix for the issue on macOS isn’t yet available in either the production or beta version of the macOS app.

1Password for iOS 8.12.30 seems to fix the issue. It is also mentioned in the release notes:

We’ve fixed an issue where 1Password could reopen to All Accounts instead of your previously selected account after being in the background.

 

I can confirm, that 1Password for Mac (as of version 8.12.30) still has the issue.
