1Password TeamBeta #7 of the year is now available
Happy Tuesday, everyone! 🤗 You know what that means – it’s beta day! 🙌
Today’s release includes a fully redesigned feature that I centered the entire announcement around. It was a nice walk through, along with some lovely screenshots. It turned out really nice and I was ready to publish. Then I learned that the entire feature is still under active development and only those with AgileBits accounts can see it. 🤦🏻😂
Oh well, it means that next week's release will be all the more exciting. 🙂
As such, today's announcement is going to be a lot lighter than usual. The main highlights that I'm able to talk about are a few macOS specific changes that I’m sure will be a hit:
- Quick Access will now suggest relevant Login items based on the active browser tab in Safari and Chrome-based browsers.
- 1Password will now open in full screen mode if that’s how you were last using it.
I know the last one in particular will be a hit for rctneil and everyone else who loves full screen mode. 😘
You can find a full set of changes in our release notes for macOS , Windows , and Linux. Or, select the What’s New item from the feedback menu within the app.
As always, thank you so much for participating in the early access release and helping us to improve 1Password. We couldn't have gotten this far without you and the releases are so much better as a direct result of you. Thank you! 🙏🏻🤗

New user here. I was skeptical of the beta due to the feedback about the electron app. I just tried it on my Mac and it looks beautiful! Look forward to playing more with it. I had used an earlier version of 1password several years back but had transitioned to another app. It's a refreshing to be back, and a lot has changed since :)
Hi
I can't manage to install the beta version. I followed the instructions on the support website and switched the channel to "Beta" in the Settings, but nothing happens, even if I close and restart 1P. The settings do show "Beta" as channel, but no update is downloaded, I still have version 8.4.0 Production. If I click on "Search for updates, it tells me that my version is up-to-date.
Any suggestion what I should do?- dteare
So happy to hear that you’re happy, rctneil! 🙌 For your self-described minor point, I think we’re going to quit while we’re ahead. 😂 I’m pleased as punch that we’ve made it this far and don’t want to push my luck. 🙂
You’re very welcome, DenalB. Glad you like it and thank you for letting us know it’s working well for you. 🤗
dteare Been playing around with the fullscreen function.
One extra part. It is a minor point though. If the 1PW window is a small window on your screen, then you put it in fullscreen mode and then exit fullscreen mode, then the window returns to the small size. Nice!
If you do the above, but quite the app whilst in fullscreen mode and reopen it, when you exit fullscreen mode, the app is maximised and is as tall and as wide as it can be without officially being in fullscreen mode.
To perfect this, it seems like the last size and position of the window should be stored somewhere permanently (even over app restarts) so that on exiting from fullscreen mode, that size and position can be restored rather than being stretched to full width and height.
I hope that makes sense.
As stated above, it's a small thing, but it's a thing i've noticed!
Many thanks again,

I tried to put some happy animated gifs here but your forum doesn't seem to allow me. Anyway, just consider all the gifs on this page to be embedded in my reply::

Many thanks for that fix. It's such a small workflow issue that just makes the experience of using an app that much more seamless and polished!
