Big decision: 1P 8

Mark_Sealey It would seem that the only close approximation to Mini is confined to Safari, but the pop-up window is fixed to the position of the toolbar button and it is not resizable, hence it obscures webpage content — to make matters worse the text size is too large and therefore almost all items in the 'suggestions' list have truncated names. Unusable if you have multiple items with similar names.

It is possible to specifically update a website name and add an additional one beneath any that exist in that section. What you cannot do is add in a field between existing ones in any given section or add a section between others, or change the field-type of an existing field in situ, or rearrange fields and sections to maintain consistency between Items.

In the Quick Search interface one feels the intuitive urge to select an item from the list with the mouse, but doing so opens, fills and auto-submits the selected item instead of displaying its details in the window — to avoid doing this one has to navigate with the keyboard only. Also, one should be able to open a webpage and fill the fields without auto-submitting as with 1Password 7 — but you can't.

The Electron/Rust underpinnings are undoubtedly responsible for some of the limitations and non-standard behaviour in 1Password 8 and so it would seem that AB are happy to sacrifice functionality for the lowest common denominator.

Apparently a unified code-base is less work for its developers — it must be tough for a one-product company valued at over $6billion !!

And yes, fortunately reverting to 1Password would seem to be painless.
