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

Without wanting to be too snarky, I think this says it all. 😢

Less flippantly, I'm all for a ground up re-write, but this feels clunky. I'm not even necessarily judging it on the underlying tech here, just the end result. This feels like an Apple like "re-imagine" (that's also clunky) like when Apple went from iMovie 6 -> 7 or Final Cut Pro 7 -> X. Key features ppl relied on were missing for years until Apple restored them to the new design. I really hope that AgileBits continue to support v7 for a few years, as I won't be upgrading to this version any time soon.

Features-missing-wise, I miss being able to have a local vault as my primary vault, with a single memorable password used only for local 1Password unlock, and then have my multiple cloud vaults all added to the setup each with a SUPER complex password that I can't even remember! By adding them after my non-synced local vault it means I can have a super secure cloud passwords while maintaining a memorable one for my local devices (which are only accessible after I decrypt my FileVault and log into my Mac... etc.).

Also, pressing Option no longer seems to reveal passwords when 1Password 8 is foremost app. 🤔

Mini is a good example where we lost our way a bit with version 7, and many saw it as a downgrade from version 6.

I was shocked to hear someone (@chadseld) from 1Password above finally admit that "Mini" in v7 was a regression from v6. All through that beta season we all got told to get over it as the new design was way better and we didn't get it. So as nice as it is to hear this admission, I gotta say it doesn't feel like the lessons have been learned yet. Mini in v6 was great. How about you start there instead of trying to reimagine it again?? 😩
