1Password 8 has support for "offline" access, or basically, each instance of the application has a local copy of the database, so it is possible to access items when a device is not connected to the ...

3 years agoI can't stress how deficient this is.
Having access to my secure attachments while offline is REQUIRED.
I often travel, and find myself at a checkin counter, ticket office, or anywhere else that suddenly requires a secure attachment I've saved.
(Anyone traveling internationally knows how spotty their access to internet can be - especially when presented with the type of situation they need those documents the most).
It's fine if some customers don't want to use the resources (storage space, data usage) but it's easily solved with a toggle switch, which MUST be an option for those who rely on having their content available (who ASSUME it's available because they were told 1pass works offline). It's the whole reason why we even bothered to put attachments into 1pass - as clumsy as the function is - because we've decided it's needed for lookup in the future - so I don't have to carry the physical item when I leave the house. And then - shock - I can't see the item when I leave the house?? How basic is this oversight?? (am I wrong to think this way?)
Plus, what's the point of an offline mode (or attachments) if we can't access the attachments, which are just as crucial as the data we've typed into the fields? Why was there ever a differentiation between data-fields & attachments, when they're both equally important to my use of the app?
The way it currently functions, I'd rather not have the option of attaching any documents, at least it would be more honest towards the fact that I won't have access to my attachments while I'm away from the originals.
I'm not criticizing you, support staff, but hopefully providing some perspective on (this) customers point of view.
