1p v8 - Feedback on why i've moved back to v7

Hi @petro, thanks for your feedback here, and for your support of our efforts to build the best dang password manager around!

We appreciate hearing from you about your experience with the Early Access version. I'm sorry it wasn't a more rewarding one for you, but we will be taking this input seriously. Here's what I can tell you about where things stand right now:

First, regarding auto-filling in Vivaldi and Safari: I'm not sure specifically what you're referring to here, but our team would certainly be happy to learn more and see what we can do about it.

Keyboard shortcuts are different than before (not inheriting v7 settings)

That's true. I can't speak to the design decisions related to the current defaults, but we do recognize that flexibility is really important when it comes to this kind of thing. People have individual workflows, custom setups, apps that may use the same hotkeys (and thus cause a conflict), and even different region + language settings for keyboards can make a seemingly uncontroversial hotkey problematic. For that reason our developers are building in the functionality to customize the shortcuts to your taste. It's not here yet, but it's coming.

Keeping the app open and unlocked is more challenging

If there are problems with this, we definitely want to know about it! On the behalf of an earlier customer, I have put in a feature request for more lock-state options (which cover when and if 1Password locks when your device goes to sleep, user logs out, screensaver activates, and so on). I'll be happy to add your voice to that as well.

Settings I could configure in v7 are altogether missing in v8

If you'd like to share specifics, I'll be happy to pass them on. I should say that this is still an early version of the app, so everything hasn't been built yet. But we want 1Password 8 to surpass version 7, so you can expect that it will be at least as robust - and very likely more so - than its predecessor.

The Electron interface looks and feels cartoonish.

oof.

It's slower.

I know this kind of thing can be hard to quantify, but again if there's anything specific you want to show us we're happy to take it on board. There are a bunch of performance optimizations going on right now, so this should be improved in any case.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!
