Hello 1Password Team,
I certain there are a bunch of bright and well-intended engineers working to make this product. In that vein, I dont want this to come across as bashing or negative feedback. Rather, I'd like to share some observations/experiences I've had since migrating to v8.
- First and foremost, it is making my browsers nearly inoperable. I click on a new tab - 1password takes focus in background. I click in a text box and start typing - 1password has taken focus and i need to start over. This really is invasive, please roll this back. EDIT: while typing this i've had to click back in this box no less than 10 times, because all the sudden focus was moved to the 1password client.
- It is so slow. v7 opened slower than v6, but v8 takes an unacceptable amount of time to open. No idea why, newer macbook, plenty or memory and cpu.
- additional steps - to create a new secret, used to be able to simple click one button and move on. now there's nested menus, all of which are slower to load than expected. its a real neusence.
- browser plugins dont work - i flip between chrome, ff, and brave. the new 1password 8 plugin has stopped populating webages when clicking on the url, or selecting autofill.
I hope this is helpful. No threat, but if this doesnt improve I will be migrating very soon. I manage a lot of environments and need a functional and efficient password manager, and 1password 8 just isnt it.
