4 years ago1password 8 a serious step backwards from 1password 7
Dearest community members,
I am still hoping this is more of a PEBCAK rather than 1password not functioning as it used to.
For starters: I loved the option of creating a complex password to my liking by simply right clicking the app in the taskbar. This function is no longer available or at least not nearby. Besides this if I start entering a password in a website manually it constantly defocusses from the text field to this popup saying do you want to save it in 1password. Not to mention that when I entered the password in the previous version the app was like. Hmmmm... Perhaps this simple man with the memory span of a goldfish might want to save this password. Let me propose it. Now 1password is just like. Bro, you want it better click save beforehand or hope that you still remember.
Then when we finally have it in the vault and start using ctrl + \ the app is like. Nice try! I'm not going to look any further than the EXACT url.
Please tell me this is a me problem and not the app.
My entire automatism that I have developed is lost with the update. Soon I can sent in a request to pay for my anger management classes.
Perhaps I am becoming a dinosaur but if it ain't broken don't fix it.
If this is actually the path 1password is going to walk I am afraid I cannot follow and I loved it before :(.
Thanks for the feedback and my apologies if there were 50 rants about it before.
(My psychiatrist told me that sharing is a good thing so :). )

Hey @brhaftigt:
Thanks for following up with some more details.
We're still working on improving the experience when using control + \, so stay tuned for updates on this!
When saving updated passwords, are you offered the option to save a new item, or update an existing item in the dialog box? For example:
To dig into why 1Password may not be opening using Ctrl + Shift + \, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC:
Sending Diagnostics Reports (Windows)
Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to

Hi @"jack.platten" I am using the new browser extension.
But after using 1password for about a week extra and quite intensively I have noticed the following things (Comparing to my Windows 10 and a previous version).
- The ctrl + \ works quite often but the focus after using this is off. Where it used to focus on the login button or whatever. Quite often it focusses on something random in the browser. For example in Chrome on the 3 dots opening my settings.
- Saving passwords keeps adding them up and not proposing to save over an old or similar password / account. example facebook.com xxx.yyy.zzz password and I enter a new password it just saves a second account xxx.yyy.zzz with the new password
- ctrl + shift + \ or ctrl + \ does not respond all the time in Windows 11 especially after Windows 11 has been in sleep mode. Program needs to be opened through Windows search / explorer (however you want to call it).
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this.
If I can provide you with additional information that might be helpful for the project please let me know.
By the way, The best of wishes for the New Year!
Kind regards,
Bram

Hey @brhaftigt:
Great questions! As it currently stands, there isn't a standalone password generator in 1Password 8, but I can see how that would be useful, so I've added your feedback to an issue we have tracking this.
As for ctrl + \, if there's only one item in your 1Password vault that matches, 1Password in your browser should fill it automatically, however if there's multiple applicable URLs, 1Password in your browser will pop up the drop-down to pick between options. I noticed that in your extension details, you've included a version number that would match to the 1Password classic extension. Just to confirm, are you currently using our newer 1Password in the browser extension?
@RobMendez:
All Accounts will now show all accounts and all vaults. If you'd like to pick a subset of accounts or vaults, creating a collection would be the best way to go.
When All Accounts is selected, you should be able to search across all your accounts. Is this not what you're experiencing? Let me know and I'll be able to dig in further with you!

Another thing I noticed - all my accounts appear only as vaults in the app. I can't search across all my accounts anymore - I have to click on each one and perform the search.

I've noticed the ability to select which accounts to include in the "All Vaults" setting has also disappeared from the app (though it still exists on the browser extension). This also seems a step backwards.
