1Passsword 8 Quick Access vs Mini

What is the advantage, if any, of using Quick Access (Shift-Command-Space) vs the Mini (Shift-Command-X)?


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.3.3 (Safari)
OS Version: 12.3.1

    Glad to hear it! And also thanks for sticking with 1Password for so long, you started using it the same year I joined the company :)

    Thanks @danvpeterson. I had read the "What's new" page a while ago but didn't see much how-to or other explanatory information on it.

    The support article you cite, though, which I found earlier today, was more useful for me.

    Hey DavidB, we put together a page showing a lot of https://1password.com/mac/. Here is also a https://support.1password.com/quick-access/. Hope that helps!

    P.S. I have been a user of 1Password since 2007.

    Thank you for the explanation. Is this explained elsewhere? Somehow I seem to have missed learning about the basics of 1Password 8.

    Hi DavidB:

    Great question! Shift+Command+X opens the 1Password pop-up in your browser. This is operating solely within the context of your browser. Quick Access has the ability to quickly copy item fields using just your keyboard, and can also trigger Universal Autofill into any app, not just your browser.

    DavidB where can you find Shift-Command-X it doesnt exist and doesn twork anywhere.

    The Quick Access dialog is the old Mini. Sadly its not working as well as Mini was working, and thats an polite understatement.
