Feature Request: Rename Employee Vault in 1Password Business
Hello 1Password Team, I’m writing on behalf of our organization, which uses 1Password Business. We find the default “Employee” vault name misleading for individual use, as many mistakenly assume it ...
I think giving owners the options to select from Private, Personal, Only Me, or Employee for the vault name for their employees would be ideal even if it's not fully customizable to give us flexibility. Many people use both personal and business accounts and the inconsistency between them can be confusing. Also, "Employee" can be confusing for owners/admins because it makes it seems like a vault is used for HR/Employee accounts. We already had a shared vault called "Employees" so the flexibility would be ideal for some businesses.

ModeratorMany people use both personal and business accounts and the inconsistency between them can be confusing.
The feedback that our team received from many owners and admins was that using "Private vault" for both personal and business accounts was confusing and caused employees to accidentally store personal information in their work account and vice verse. That's why the change was made to rename the "Private vault" to "Employee vault" for 1Password Teams and Business accounts.
That being said, I can see how flexibility would be useful to certain organizations. I've passed your feedback along to the team internally.

Any updates on this - as previous posts already stated, the word "Angestellte" for a vault folder is confusing. Using google translator it would be correct. But as being a german customer I would expect that 1password does not use google as a translation option.
"Employee vault" = "Mitarbeitertresor" or better "persönlicher Tresor"
I don't know why you refere to "Some German customers have suggested "Der Angestellte"" as "Der Angestellte" is much worse and also incorrect it just means "the employee" but still you wouldn't use this in germany...- 1P_Dave
I don't have any updates to share at the moment regarding changing the German translation. I've filed your feedback with the appropriate team internally.
"persönlicher Tresor"
We're no longer using names like "Private" or "Personal" for Employee vaults that are part of 1Password Teams and Business accounts. This is so that folks don't accidentally save non-work items into those work vaults: Private vaults in 1Password Teams and Business are now employee vaults
