+1. The lack of a choice of default vault in the app has already caused some issues in our family.

Really annoyed about this. I already deleted the 1password 7 app off my phone before realizing you removed the feature to pick your default vault in the 1password8 iOS app. (Also just realized it's gone from the Mac version as well. Why would you do this??!!)
I have a family membership, I absolutely need the default vault to be a shared vault of my choosing. This is a deal breaker for me. My membership renews in September, if it's not back by then, I'm gone. - AMonitorDarklySuper Contributor
+1 for me as well. I canโt believe this was dropped from 1P8. Iโm getting real tired of typing that last sentence as well.

+1 to restore this feature. Very disappointing to have all the energy go into a new appearance and all that, and a key feature is removed. Someone really dropped the ball. It's the first thing I saw when I upgraded to 1P8 and it's a real pain now. It's far too easy to get passwords saved in the wrong vault if you're not careful.

I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to set the default vault on android app and mac OS app. I guess the best I can do at this point is ask to add my vote to the task to restore this feature in 1Password 8. Thanks!

I just found this thread while searching for how to set the default vault for new entries in 1Password 8 on Mac. I'm sad to see there's no option, but at least there's talk about adding it. Is there a task/feature/issue of some sort that I can upvote?

PLEASE allow setting of a default vault again! This is really screwing things up in our family account, where my low-tech wife and younger daughter are saving what should be shared passwords to their new "private" vaults. I had it in the past so each of them had a default and anything they saved would be stored in that default shared vault. This seems like a real regression in capabilities for a shared family account and I have no idea why that preference would have been removed. Please bring that feature back.

I hope that allowing one to set a default vault to save to comes back very soon. As another user noted on a similar thread, removing features on new versions without explanation generally doesn't go over well with faithful long-term users. For many of us with family accounts, the non-private vaults are our main vaults to save to, and constantly reminding less tech-savvy family members to move their newly created logins to a shared vault makes it harder to convince them that 1password is worth using.
