1Password 8 frustrations

Hi zer0r00t

1Password 8 is essentially a complete rewrite of 1Password, with the goal of providing a consistent experience across all of the various platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and now for the first time... Linux 🐧). It isn't feature-complete yet. One of the reasons we're offering Early Access on Windows is to get feedback from users as to where we should focus our remaining time before the 8.0 release. As such, this is very helpful, thank you. A few things to note:

No 1Password mini

This is something we're looking very closely at, and while I can't make any promises, I suspect prior to or shortly after 8.0 we'll have something to offer here. We're still working out exactly what that should look like based on the input we've had from formal user testing and informal feedback.

Cannot logout anymore

Could you elaborate on what you mean here? Most folks "logout" of 1Password by locking it, which you can do using the File > Lock menu (or associated keyboard shortcut). If instead you're looking to remove your 1Password account from the app, would you mind sharing what the use case for that is? At present you can remove your account from an app by signing in at https://start.1password.com, navigating to your profile page, and then deauthorizing the device in question. I don't believe this is something folks are commonly doing, but I'd be interested to hear if you have a need to.

No number bubbles beside all items, favorites or any tags, none at all

Indeed; there isn't currently an easy way to see how many items are in those sections. Could you please help me understand how this information is helpful to you? What problem does having item counts solve?

No way to remove a single tag from more than one item at a time. I'm actually surprised drag-and-drop wasn't removed

🤔 I agree that this isn't currently possible. In 1Password 7 you could remove a tag from all items by deleting it from the sidebar, and 1Password 8 doesn't have that. Beyond that I'm not sure how you would've been handling this previously. How were you removing a tag from more than one (if not all) items in 1Password 7?

The entire right click context menu for any tagging function is removed. Reduced to literally only 4 actions (which reduces further to 3 if more than 1 item is selected)

Are there ways in which drag and drop does not meet this need?

No way to copy multiple items to a vault anymore. Only move

Good catch. Yes, hopefully that is something we can address soon.

No local vaults

Standalone vaults as they existed in the past will no longer be part of 1Password moving forward, however we do have some thoughts on this that may be of interest. One of our founders, Dave, posted about this in detail here:

Cannot reorder sections or fields

Good observation. I will mention this to the team.

Cannot link related items when creating new item, but option magically appears when editing the same item after creation

You're right. Another good catch. I will bring this to the team's attention as well.

Thank you!!
