1Password v8 is a Mistake

roustem

So far, the main complaint is that "it is an Electron app, and it is unacceptable to me because I am a Mac user". There were a few valid points about memory usage and a few notes about visual elements. The new mini (Quick Access) is obviously not finished but it will be. What else am I missing?

Here is a list (note these can/are either bugs or issues with the new format)

1. touch Id not automatically firing
2. the padding, lack of dividers making viewing content difficult. Again I can't stress the absolute ridiculous padding. See picture below
3. lack of native UI components. Why is everything inside the main window. Please separate at least some on the critical elements. The "+ New Item" is a huge one. There are other things I could nitpick but the dropdowns are such a pain in the ass.
4. you've switched how user's switch vaults. The new process is more button clicks, overall it's just a worse design. Either switch it back or let us decide. It makes no sense why it was moved as the old way was absolutely perfect. It also gave us a visual que of what vault we were currently on. With "Vaults" minimized, we have no idea except the text in the search bar.
5. The performance lag, which you've already said you'll look at but it's fairly bad and a massive step backwards
6. quick access not being able to be summoned on any other space. This is huge, again, I've spoken about this a lot but I'm just grouping all the complaints I have // have seen into one large comment. This absolutely needs to be fixed, it's awful to use currently.
7. I still disagree with 1P mini being dropped for quick access, so I'm putting this bullet point here and will die on this hill.
8. quick access at the VERY least needs to be summoned via one click in the menu bar (easy fix)
9. There is an absolutely hilarious bug when you're using 1P8 and RDP. If you summon 1P on top of your RDP full screen, the app somehow merges with RDP. Mission control can no longer access or see it. It's maddening. See image below.
10. quick access not allowing vault changes
11. no local vaults (roustem, we've already have convo's about this so I'll leave it)
12. no QR scanning (I know it's a beta)
13. no custom shortcuts (I know it's already an issue being worked on)
14. setting modal instead of windows. I'm sorry but I hate them. They remove the ability for me to multitask and are so jarring in macos as nothing else uses them.

There are others but It'll look like I'm just fishing for complaints if I list them.
