Reverted to IP7 from 8

I’ve been trying 1P8 for a week or two (I use it every day) and I’ve decided to revert to 1P7. Been using 1P for nearly 13 years, these days mostly on my Mac mini and Macbook Air but also on iPhones and iPads. I tried 8 as a test on the laptop.

I’ve always been happy with updates through the years. However, I found 8 rather clunky. I was confused between using the menu bar icon and the Safari icon (my default browser). I found some passwords would not be provided. There was more.

Eventually, I gave up and, as I say, reverted to 7. I’m pleased to have back, for example, the one-click Pin On Screen facility, which seems to require at least two clicks in 8, and is called something different.

I know different is not necessarily bad. I’m all for progress in apps, and that has always been so with 1Password in my experience. This one, though, feels to me like it was maybe rushed out. I have no evidence for that, of course, but I wanted to make my opinions known.

I’ll keep an eye on the changelog and look forward to having another go at 8 later on.


1Password Version: 7.9.5
Extension Version: 7.9.4
OS Version: macOS 12.4
