Can't set default vault for newly created items

Hi folks,

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, default vaults for saving new items were added to the latest production release! 🎉

You can check out what other changes were made in the release notes: 1Password for Mac Releases

And if you need any assistance updating, I recommend this support article: How to keep 1Password up to date

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. 🙂

I agree, @1passpudinski, thanks for highlighting this use case!

Please add this feature back. As others have noted, for those of us wth Family accounts, it's vital to have this feature back for non-techie users that need to save to a shared vault, and not have to change it from Private every time.

Happy to help, @metta! I've also added your feedback to our internal tracker regarding default vaults in the app itself. To clarify, the current behaviour is that new items will default to the current vault you've selected and will otherwise default to your Private vault.

Let me know if you have any questions. 👍🏻

Having new items saved to the shared vault by default is so counter intuitive for a product that's supposed to keep your information secure.
@andrew.l_1P Thanks for the workaround, though it seems like users are having to do this a lot to get something close to v7

I'll pass this along. Thanks for letting us know it helps your workflow.

I second this. Get this back in the app.

Hi @garyc23, apologies for not catching this until @seanism bumped it.

We're actively tracking feedback for the option to set a default vault in the 1Password 8 desktop apps and I've added votes on behalf of both of you.

In the meantime, it is possible to set a default vault for items created with the 1Password browser extension:

I recognize the value in having this functionality across all our platforms though and would love to see it myself. Thanks for letting us know it's important to you. 👍🏻

Im getting lost with that too.. by now stuff is not only in the wrong vault but also in the wrong categories as well. just so difficult and bad usability. not to speak about field sorting after the fact etc. another user for upgrade to v7 :)

+1

I don't see a way to set the default vault either. It keeps trying to save to my personal vault on my work computer.
