Default Vault for New Items in V8
V7 allowed identifying a vault for saving all new items (e.g., new logins). I can't find this option in V8. Is this available in V8?

Please add my voice to the chorus of people asking for the ability to configure which vault new items are put in by default in all UIs. The lack of this feature is wreaking havoc in my family account! Passwords keep getting "lost" (saved in a private vault not visible to other family members), and as the family admin I can't even go fix it without getting each person to sit down and log me in to their private vault.
Please place this feature at the top of your priority list, even if the initial setting is simply "Allow 1Password to choose the best vault" for new items. In my case, it is absolutely essential that the default value be something I can choose for all members. No-one except for me wants to know about vaults or cares about them. They just want the passwords to be safe and visible to all other family members. Believe me, I have tried to train them on it. And they say they will remember, but they never do. Heck - half the time I forget to check it! It is simply an unnecessary extra step that in our situation no one wants to be bothered with.
I know there must be some design paradigm or principle on your side that is driving the reluctance to re-implement this feature as it was in 1PW7. However, I would like to kindly point out that whatever it is, it is failing to account for the usage patterns of quite a few 1PW users, as evidenced by the feedback, and also underestimating the impact it's having on those users.
I beg the development and design teams to please be open to the idea that they have made a grave error in how they have thought about this problem, and that they need to go back to the drawing board on their approach. And then make it a top priority to get this feature in before we go crazy or jump ship to a competitor.
And just to clarify - even 1PW7 wasn't quite sufficient for me on this feature. I had to individually set up each user and set the default vault for them. What we really need is an account-wide setting I can configure for all users, but that can be overridden by individual users both permanently (via the settings menu) or each time they create an item.
Thanks.
