There are already five threads asking for the All Categories to be restored to the sidebar. I can't find *any * posts saying the opposite. Nor any can I find any threads in 1Password 7 requesting the "All Categories" to be moved out of the sidebar! Why did you do it? Unlike many people,I have no other problem with 1Password 8 (except loss of item count) and the "All Categories" seems such a minor issue to correct. Please assure me it is on the list to change OR explain why you won't/can't do it. Thanks 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided

+1 from me. Categories in sidebar are much easier to use than a menu that you frist have to open in order to select anything.

Totally agree (as I've probably already posted..) but as a family user having the sidebar is almost pointless now. Don't use tags, don't have lots of vaults.

Why did you do it? Supposedly because it was "too confusing" and the sidebar was "too crowded". Just like old mini was "too big". I'm convinced there's someone on the team who won't rest until the app opens up to white space and shows nothing until you start searching.

+1. Put Categories back in the sidebar where God intended and add the item counts back for good measure.

"All Categories" in the sidebar PLEASE

Hi @mikebore viswiz @ jqxfxiva @RebeccaL wdl0355 ! We've got some news for you: in the latest Beta, you can now show Categories permanently in the sidebar if you prefer that layout. 👍

If you'd like to try this out, download (or update to) the 8.6.0-6 Beta, and then go to Settings > Appearance and switch the Categories option under "Always Show in Sidebar" to on.

As always, we welcome your feedback, and will be eager to learn your impressions of this! Many thanks 🙏

Thanks for the feedback everyone and highlighting how important this is to you. 🤗

We've been doing some experimentation on enabling categories to be added to the sidebar. Be sure to check out the exploring sidebar categories thread for details and add your thoughts and 👍🏻 if it's what you were hoping for.

Take care,

Also I don't think anyone is asking for a 'fully customizable to sidebar' - just restore categories into the left hand side!

Not quite how it works, I'm afraid. ;) But thank you for weighing in.

There are so many threads about this and so many replies from staff that it is "added to the list", wouldn't you save yourselves some work by just doing it! Only a semi serious suggestion...or perhaps make it a sticky? ;)

I too like the categories in the side bar.

Hi, +1 on categories for me too! I think I could find a workaround by restructuring my tagging system, but I really liked categories.
Thanks for considering! And I think 1P is a terrific password manager :)
