Experiment #4 – New interface in 1Password.com’s vault view

The new updates are an ok addition, but the real problems with 1Password should be addressed. The updates are more superficial.

1. 1Password goes "offline" way too often and doesn't come back online automatically. It always says to click the offline icon in the toolbar.

2. Logging in to 1Password requires clicking on the toolbar after already clicking on the icon in a text input. Clicking on the icon should automatically bring up the auth pop-up. No need for the extra click.

3. When a site has both a "username" (for display) and an "email" (for auth) 1Password doesn't recognize the distinction and typically will put the username in the email field and has to be fixed manually.

4. Associating an existing site with an app on Android is more cumbersome than necessary. It would be reasonable for 1Password to maintain it's own master association list and use that to make suggestions.

5. Editing a site within the plugin should be done within the plugin in Chrome. Instead it opens in a new window and usually even requires searching for the site to update again (sometimes it opens to that site automatically though).

6. 1Password should recognize security questions and record and fill in that information automatically.

7. 1Password tries to fill in the password when there is an SMS security code validation.

8. 1Password should recognize the site is asking for something else and not suggest the password.

9. 1Password ideally would integrate with a mobile phone's SMS and email to gather security codes automatically and populate them on sites.

10. 1Password often has trouble filling in address information for states when sites use a non-standard drop-down for state (this may be difficult to implement, but perhaps for the most common implementations it's feasible).

11. 1Password has trouble filling in information when the site is not in English.

12. Multiple credentials for the same site should be grouped together within 1Password so they can be managed more clearly.

13. Installing 1Password on a browser on desktop when it is already installed in another browser should have a more streamlined experience not requiring the secret key.

14. 1Password on Android is a bit inconsistent where it recognizes a login form and shows the auth options vs when there is no recognition and I have to switch back to 1Password and manually copy over the username/password.

I hope these requests/suggestions are helpful. Overall I am happy with 1Password since switching from LastPass, but these are a number of annoyances.
