Wow. I don't know who thought this was a good idea to remove the ability to move fields around in v8 but... This is a HUGE necessity... Please add that capability back into the app. 1Password Version: 8.8.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 12.5 (21G72) Browser:_ Not Provided Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=1Password%20for%20Mac%208.8.0%20unable%20to%20move%20fields%20around

Hi 1Password, Hope you are well. I am not sure whether or not this is the best place to put a feature request but I saw another person put one here so thought I would. I have a really crucial feature request that is really important to me and a lot of other people. Something that worked fine and existed in V7 but not in V8. I and many others store A LOT of information in 1Password. Some login objects contain dozens of sections and fields. Especially my server objects. I am still running V7 because V8 has removed the ability to move sections and fields up and down. This is absolutely critical when it comes to organisation and management of the information contained within the product and objects. Both for personal and business users. I have used 1Password since it was a perpetual purchase on iOS. Many, many, many years. I currently have 923 objects inside my personal vault. However, this feature is so important to me that I will have no choice but to move away from 1Password to a different product if V8 doesn't introduce it. I am a self employed IT Systems Engineer / MSP. I recommend & procure products like 1Password to many of my customers. But currently, I can't recommend the 1Password product given V8. I have just finished a contract for a company called [removed by moderator per request]. You will be able to see on your systems that we had a Business Trial with yourselves but chose not to go ahead. This issue with the section and field movement is a big reason why we couldn't go ahead. We were worried once V7 was depreciated completely that we would be stuck with V8 and have no ability to organise our data contained within the product. It would take me months and months to migrate my 1Password data to someone else such as Keeper so I really, really do not want to do this but I will have no choice if section and field movement isn't reintroduced into V8. It feels like V8 has prioritised aesthetics and minimalism over functionality. The V8 product looks amazing, it really does, but is currently unusable to me and so many others. I really, really hope you will pass this request onto the relevant teams. I passed this information onto our Business Account Manager with yourselves during the trial but we didn't hear anything back. I also emailed this same feedback to your support team some time ago who said they had passed it onto the relevant people. I also didn't hear anything back from them. All the best, Joel Wraight

Hi @joel_wraight I appreciate your passion for 1Password, and your desire to use it to organize your secure data. Re-ordering custom fields/sections is on our roadmap to reimplement in 1Password 8, but we don't have an ETA. Ben ref: IDEA-I-372 ref: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/634206/#Comment_634206

The new field in the section is only appended to the bottom of the list. I don't see an option for reordering but I see past posts that mentioned the feature has been added. 1Password Version: 8.7.0 Extension Version: 8.7.0 OS Version: 12.3.1

Hi @gasses_bird, we don't currently have a feature to re-order fields in 1Password 8, but this is a popular request and one we are now working on. I have just put in a vote on your behalf - thank you for letting us know that this is something you find useful! ref: IDEA-I-372

Thank you. I am looking forward to the feature being added.

Quit 1Password 8 and drag it to the trash. Do not use an app cleaner for this. Manually completing this step will keep your data safe. * Optional leave it here if you intend on trying 1Password 8 again. It can also be re downloaded later on.

Double click 1Password 7.app.zip in your Applications folder to expand it. You can then remove the zip file from the Applications folder. * If you have removed 1Password 7 it can be downloaded here. Download 1Password for Mac

Open Safari and disable 1Password for Safari and enable the 1Password extension (likely version 7.9.6)

Drag 1Password for Safari to the trash. * Optional leave it here if you intend on trying 1Password 8 again. It can also be re downloaded.

Thanks Jack_P_1P. In the meantime, how do I revert back to 1Password 7?

Hi 1Password Team,

Is there any update on the roadmap to introduce this to V8? Windows is trying to force me to update quite regularly and I'm fighting it off. My iPhone has now forced me to update to V8. I am quite concerned I'll soon have no choice but to update Windows and be on a platform with no control over the fields and sections.

Best regards,

Joel Wraight

Hi @bthoma:

Thanks for your feedback. Staying in touch either here, or on https://releases.1password.com/ would be your best bet. Keep an eye out! Additionally, I've added you to a separate feature request tracking the ability to change field types.

Another vote here. I would like to add that we used to be able to (in 1Password 7) change the field type (text, phone, date, etc.) after the field was created. Not being able to move the field nor edit the field type seems like a step back in this upgrade to 1Password 8.

Is there a way for us to know if/when these features are updated?

Thanks for the immediate reply, dear Jack.

I will then wait to update the App.

Hi @RkR:

Thanks for following up. It currently isn't in 1Password 8, but I'm hopeful we'll be tackling it soon.

Hi Ben !
I am a bit afraid to update to 1Password 8 for iOS: in the new version of the App has the possibility to manually sort fields and sections been retained?

Thanks, jinux_go. This is something we all agree needs to happen, and I'm hopeful it'll be one of the very next things we tackle. 👍🏻
