5 years ago1p v8 - Feedback on why i've moved back to v7
Hi all, some feedback for the great team at AgileBits on v8. First, I completely applaud and support the work you're doing on unifying the backends, and that there's tradeoffs involved. Good for all ...

+1, from a user of 1P since the very beginning, and one that has brought 1P teams to five companies and four families.
Respectfully, the lack of feature parity during an alpha is understandable, but beta is literally meant to be feature complete. This is anything but.
Electron is a lazy way to do cross platform–but I will admit it's lightyears better than the current Windows client. Native is what brought many of us to 1P in the first place. I do NOT like v8 but I am forcing myself to use it so that I either switch off 1P out of frustration, or get used to how much worse it is (so far) before forced on us. I also dislike the ARR pricing model, it's typical of companies that finally find success and it's abusive.
Here's a quick list of v8 issues (and a few that have been problems for years) simply from the top of my head, they're so frustrating that I didn't even have to open the app to recall them:
- Different keyboard shortcuts is a pointless annoyance (e.g. holding down Option used to reveal passwords momentarily, which was super useful; now we have Cmd-R at least, but it's a friggin' toggle!
- The inability to edit when you do Cmd-O, and the really
- That we still can't move items across vaults with attachments... MOVE THE ATTACHMENTS!
- The difficulty in moving items across vaults in most interfaces and that drag-drop doesn't seem to work
- Being forced to use the confusing and half-implemented Archive functionality vs Trash
- The inability to change or disable keyboard shortcuts
- That keyboard shortcuts are system-wide even if you don't want them to be
- That we can't scan 2FA codes anymore
- That in 2021 the 1P mini STILL won't remember the last thing you typed for more than like 5 seconds
- That we have collections now but no way to switch across vaults or collections in 1Password mini
And a few Teams issues that are concerning:
- Where's the white paper on the new password sharing to prove the safety? Where's the ability to disable it and revoke them across an org?
- That the audit trails in Teams for password use only audit auto-fills, not when someone copies a password
- That when inviting someone we can't pre-specify their permissions, so we're forced to remember what they need access to days after we send the invite
- That the default permissions for vault access are FULL rather than view; ever heard of least privilege?
- That we can't create reusable, permitted permissions policies and have to check permissions individually
- That you force us to install SCIM in our clusters to get SSO, which is something that you should really be doing for us
v8 is much better than most Electron apps, I will give you that, and using Rust where it's appropriate is awesome. But I think leadership drank the koolaid of some young engineers who only know how to make web apps and promised it'd feel native. It doesn't, it can't, and I don't like it.
