1P8 Default Vault for Creation?

Beta anyone? https://releases.1password.com/mac/beta/#1password-for-mac-8.9.10-9

You can now choose a default vault to save new items in.

Hi folks, I've posted the latest on this over at this thread:

https://1password.community/discussion/comment/633479#Comment_633479

Add me to the list of those wanting the option to set a default vault for saving items in the main app. My use case is similar to the others here. I recently upgraded my parents' from 1Password 7 to 1Password 8 on Windows and in doing so found that I could no longer set which vault new items were saved in the app. I have them save their passwords into a non-personal vault so that they can each have access to the others' as can I, and they also have a vault with items shared between them. I set up a collection for each to have their own (non-personal) and shared vaults be what they normally see. However, for Dad new items were automatically added to the correct vault, but Mom's always went to the shared vault. Since it appeared that the vault selection went alphabetically I renamed the shared vault and it worked, though that is not an ideal workaround.

I see 3 options for improving the behavior:
* Return the option of setting a default vault for saving (which is still in the browser plugin), and if that vault is not available at the time of saving revert to this new behavior.
* On each collection let one of the vaults be set as the default save vault.
* Have the vault selection on the add item screen persist.

Hi 47beideman:

Thanks for your additional input on this. Advanced permissions are a feature of 1Password Business and 1Password Teams, so for example, a vault can be viewed by everyone in a company, but only certain members of the company can add new items to that vault, or change existing items.

I've added your feedback to our internal issue on the subject, thanks for your thoughtful feedback as we work through the beta process with 1Password 8!

I"m in the same boat with 1P8 - let's get the default vault selection back in the picture. My family is a very big user of 1P and the current situation is no good.

Also, could figure out what ag_andrew is talking about above: do admins have capability to choose what vaults can be used for creation?

Anyway, this new hyper-concern for lock/unlock seems like the great being the enemy of the good.

I have my work and personal vaults. I save literally everything I create in my personal vault - never work vault. Prior to 8 I could choose what the default save vault was and never had an issue. Now almost, without exception, it always save to the Work Private vault and I cannot make it Scott Private vault. I have to go back and move it after each new item. There are passwords for work I use in the work vaults so need them to be there still but should not save wherever it wants - but where I tell it to.

This isoccurring on macOS (multiple devices) and iOS using the extension (using the app on iOS it allows default and it is set to the right vault (Scott Private) and works).

Thank you for chiming in with your use case. I've added your voice to the bug report that Joshua mentioned above.

I use 1Password with my family - especially to assist my elderly parents. It worked fine to share the passwords and other critical information. With 1Password 8 however we have the problem that important things are added to the personal vault by accident, which defeats the purpose of our family subscription.
Please re-add the feature to set a default vault - it's really critical to ensure a working family workflow.

1PWUser_5423556 & BobW,

Thanks so much for letting us know of the issue with collections not selecting the correct vault when you don't have a personal/private vault in that collection. I did some testing and can reproduce the issue and have reported it to our developers so they can fix it in a future version.

I'm in the exact same situation for the exact same reason. +1!
