Considering other PW mgrs - would like a reply promptly

Hello @katrina1p! 👋

I'm sorry to hear that you're running into a few issues with 1Password 8 on your Mac. I'll respond to each of your points below:

We now have 1P taking up memory on MacBook. This slows down performance and makes it that when we 'clean up' the junk with an app like CleanMyMac, 1P closes completely and then reopens.

Can you tell me a little more about the performance issues that you're seeing? Where is 1Password slowing down performance on your Mac? When you're logging into your Mac? Or when you're using a specific app on your Mac?

In general, I don't recommend that you use an app cleaner on 1Password's files since that can cause issues. 1Password 8 doesn't have any "junk" that an app cleaner needs to clean and I suggest adding 1Password to your app cleaner's exclusion or ignore list. Can you tell me what specific files your app cleaner is identifying as "junk" and removing?

In my case, I run a very small nonprofit & we have multiple logins and accounts under the same name. Before, I had the most common ones saved to Favorites. Now though accessing them takes much longer. If I use the "Quick Access" I have to search for a login. And if I search by the user name, I end up with a list, not a direct answer. The Favorites access needs brought back badly.

Are you using these logins in a Mac app or when logging into a website in your browser? If it's with a website then would using 1Password in the browser's inline suggestions be a better option:

If I misunderstood then please let me know.

3) Same for the Apple Watch: this was a step ahead. Now it seems to have gone backwards. We need it back.

Can you clarify a little further? 1Password 8 for Mac does indeed support Apple Watch unlock and it works the same way that it did in 1Password 7 for Mac: Use your Apple Watch to unlock 1Password on your Mac

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
