1P 8 Unlocking Multiple Vaults

Hi @voxmatt, Peter_Agocs, and @pinecone,

Thanks for your feedback. I understand your concerns and acknowledge that this instance is an exception to our usual recommendation to avoid reusing passwords. To be clear, we do not recommend using your 1Password account password for anything besides other 1Password accounts you own.

If you haven't already, I encourage you to explore the thread Jack linked above, this post in particular is a good summary but I think the thread in its entirety will address a lot of the point you've surfaced here.

Let me know if you find anything you'd like to discuss further. 🙂

andrew_l_1P I am flabbergasted that a representative of a company that bases their existence on password security would recommend reusing the same password for multiple accounts/vaults. Wow.

I can only assume that 1PW is so caught up in trying to undo the damage they have done to the product that they are losing sight of the basic principles of password security. This does not give me any confidence in your company or products.

I upgraded 1pw8 just now and faced this issue this morning.

I have 3 accounts currently with no touchID support on my desktop. So I would like to know which UX designer think it could be a good idea to force typing strong passwords (I am using 42 char long random generated) for every account ( 3 in my case ) more times a day????

Using same password for different account for an online security product? Is this really a great suggestion?

I am customer since 2006 so I can say this is the worst UX design failure what you did.

I personally reverted back to 1pw7 until this will fix or I do not upgrade my desktop machine (not planned yet).

Hi all, this functionality is ... brutal. I would also like the ability to have the master vault unlock all (I understand that the proposed solution is to use the same account password, which is kind of concerningly entertaining that the party-line from a company designed to eliminate password re-use proposes... password re-use, but whatever).

TouchID helps. But I still need to enter a password every 2 weeks and then, inevitably, I end up in the state where 1 vault is unlocked and 1 is locked (terrrrrible).

Can we at least have the option to — whenever a password unlock is required — to prompt for all vaults. There should at least be a warning that you only unlocked 1 of ___ vaults.

To restate, my preference would be:
1. Use ahem one password to unlock all vaults
2. When a password is required, have a prompt to enter the password for each vault
....
345. Use the same password for all vaults

Hi Teju and @AnthonyE,

Our recommendation to unlock multiple accounts simultaneously is to use the same account password for them. Let me know how that works for you or if you have any questions. 🙂

I agree with the comments and suggestions from @AndreaBarghigiani and Teju. I have several 1Password accounts and am required every time I open 1 P to enter the master password for each (in order to access all my logins anyway). I do have a Mac with TouchID, though most of the time I am at a monitor and the Mac is in clamshell, so using TouchID is not possible.

Hi,

Please consider letting users make the decision to set a primary account that unlocks other accounts.

I had to delete 1Password8 and re-install 1Password7 because of how frustrating I find the process to unlock multiple accounts.

Hi @JoshRouthier:

Thanks for your feedback on this. As Dave mentioned above, for the time being, the best recommendation would be to use the same account password for all of their accounts. In this case, it's different than reusing a password for a traditional authentication based login system, as discussed here.

I would agree with @AndreaBarghigiani suggestions of:
* the company has an option to allow or deny the feature
* the user is able to activate it

This is the one feature in 1P8 that I know our users are going to hate, hate, hate, and anything to lessen the blow of the major upgrade will be a win in my book.

Thanks so much for the feedback @AndreaBarghigiani
