Concerns About 1P 8 for Mac from a Web and Software Developer

@chadseld I’ve been using 1Password since the very beginning. If the replacement for mini, Quick Access, isn’t as context-aware as mini is right now, then 1Password 8 is not ready for public release.

Understand that those of us who have used 1Password since v1 some 15 years ago have baked ⌘\ into our brains of “this is how you fill this webpage with the data that belongs to it”. Not ⌘⬆️Space. We have also baked ⌘⬆️\ as the way to “present a searchable suggestion list”.

That’s part of what is missing, and why we’re deeply skeptical of the user experience comment for Quick Access. At the moment, 1Password 8 is a giant leap backwards for those of us with you since the beginning, in a way that 1Password 7 and 1Password mini were not. They weren’t perfect, but they’re better than what we are seeing right now.

You can get there, but please don’t take until 8.5 to get there. I’m all in on 1Password—you offer a value proposition that cannot be matched by anyone else. But I won’t be upgrading anyone else on my family plan from 1Password 7 until I know that it isn’t a functionality and usability regression.
