A separate Favorite list for each family member

I noticed that in the past others have asked for the ability to create a separate favorites list for each family. Is there any information about 1Password's current view on this request or estimate...

    Hello astandre! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out! Changing favourites to be per-user rather than per-item is a request that is in our product team's backlog but there are prerequisites that have to be developed first before the team can consider making the change. Each item is responsible for declaring whether it is a favourite or not, this system was developed in a time when sharing items in 1Password wasn't as common as it is now. Before favourites can be made per-user this per-item metadata has to be moved out of the item and into a new user-specific layer in the database. Creating this user-specific layer requires some architecture work and, for the moment, this work is yet to be done.

    That being said, I've added your comment to the open feature request for this change. Hopefully this is something that can be done in the future.

I use 1PW the same way as Scott. I was shocked to learn tonight that favorites are family based. The entire concept of favorite suggests personal. This seems more like a bug than a feature request.

Thank you for the feedback. At the moment, whether an item is a favorite or not is metadata that is stored in the item itself. So if one person makes an item a favorite then the item becomes a favorite for everyone who has access to that item. 

Changing how this works would require deeper architectural changes in how 1Password works, storing item metadata separately from the item itself, and it's something that the team would like to look into in the future but I don't have any firms plans or timelines to share at the moment.

    I just saw this explanation.  I made the same request at the beginning of the year and hope it reaches the top of the to do list

    Hi Dave,

    Long time user, and appreciate your response, I figured data was stored with the record itself, so it would not be a quick fix.  Thanks for getting that on a futures features list.

    cpop​ Good to hear others are using 1PW in the same fashion.
