5 years agoThanks for your response, @chadseld. I've seen in other threads how some things (like user-definable keyboard shortcuts) are coming. Hopefully they, and many of my other concerns, much of which are real usability headaches right now, are addressed by the official release. My feedback was based on just minutes of use where I saw these serious usability issues. I now have both 1P 7 and 8 installed, though rarely use 1P 8 for now, and keep it quit (well, one or the other is quit while the other is running).
I want to like 1P 8, because of my longtime use of 1P, the importance of things like multiple content types and shared vaults (otherwise, if I just stored passwords just for myself, I may have looked into moving to the Apple-built alternative coming in macOS 12 anyway, if just for curiosity), and simply that my data is already in it. But we'll see what I feel like as the early access alpha continues to beta and then general official release. My feeling is that if Quick Access' keyboard shortcut can be customized (as well as work sans menu option being visible), the Apple Watch unlock be made as convenient as it is right now in 1P 7 (no extra click, need of the full window), and the Safari extension works well (I could barely get it to unlock consistently or show my data) I will probably try living on the 1P 8 preview for a few days. But still, this direction of 1P makes me about if an alternative may be needed. Hopefully it won't, honestly,
