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 estimated implementation date?

    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.

    -Dave

      Please add us (tapconet.com) to your list of people needing this fix.  In a large, mixed, team, the lack of scope control for Favorites severely limits their utility.  And since Favorites automatically rise to the top when using the browser extensions, they just get in the way.  We fear users will try to use other password manager solutions rather than 1Password, and we'll lose the centralized management & control we have.

      We see reddit responses from your staff, dating back at least two years, which basically echo what you've said here, "The favourite status is currently baked into the item data, which coincidentally makes it more difficult to change..."  This really needs to move up the To Do list.
