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

All right folks. Y'all are amazing and have really come through with the feedback! ❤️ As Max said, there are a lot of goodies here that we're going to be taking back to the team. I do want to call out a few popular requests and also respond to some specific questions and comments.

First up, the gigantic sprawl of item details when your browser is full width on a big screen. Thanks to srosenthal72 lizzzz RazorX2 xinit PolarisFlyer for calling this out. This design was created for the desktop app, which folks probably don't expand to fill their screen as often as they do with their browser window. I'm going to be taking this back to our designers and maybe we can at least get a max width set on that, similar to the original view.

Next, who moved my cheese categories?! konstantin Hav1 farzadsangi aviloff Me1234 APieceOfFriedChicken I've heard you loud and clear, and we'll be adding the categories back to the sidebar. 😎

Those are the biggest ones so far. As I said earlier, there's a ton of great feedback here, though, and I'm going to be filing several issues and insights for our product and development teams to review. Some of the feedback here has been more about 1Password in general, and so I'll be forwarding that to the appropriate people.

I did want to respond to some specific comments as well. If I don't respond to yours and you wanted a specific response, feel free to comment again.

Another idea is that clicking the row itself triggers the default action. Currently the row hightlights, but I still have to go all the way to the right to click the action link/button to trigger it.

lizzzz this should be working! I just tested it successfully on my side. Can you try again? If the default action is Copy, for example, clicking the row itself should copy the field.

Just for comparison, in the current UI I enter the Home page and I click Personal.

konstantin Ah, this will be supported for the new UI as well. If you don't click the "go back to original view" button in the new UI but instead select "Manage Account" from the bottom of the vaults menu, you should see that the links on the home page now take you to those vaults in the new view.

That said, the comments about having a default vault open instead of All Vaults makes sense to me and I'm filing that away for our product team to consider. It probably won't happen in this initial iteration since we still have the home page, but it will be worth considering if we re-evaluate the home page especially.

Thanks for going into so much detail on your usage of the app. I think it's a really helpful qualitative perspective, and I'll share it with our team that's been researching usability.

I don't see "Settings" anywhere in the interface. Where would I select whether I want Dark Mode or not (the usual thing to do is offer Light/Dark/Auto...

segv11net We'll be looking into adding settings in the future, but we're focused on some other big pieces of functionality right now.

It would be REALLY nice to have a "Recently Used" option

JeffPepper we do have this in the desktop version! We may be able to bring it to the web in the future, but right now we're focused on replacing the functionality that already exists on the web before we start adding a bunch of new things.

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

S4m thanks for providing that list of feedback! This discussion thread is focused on the usability of the new design of the vault item view on 1Password.com, but I'm forwarding your message to the appropriate folks.

So, the potential for confusion outweighs the potential benefits of sub-filtering.

pearish this is an interesting perspective. I can see how filtering the wrong view could be confusing. As you noted it could also be useful for some people. When we add the Categories back to the sidebar do you think that will address the problem for you?

Do you envision rolling this out to browser extensions as well?

msankaran I'm not sure what you mean by this. Our current browser extension already looks pretty similar to this new view, although smaller so that it fits well as a popup. Can you explain what you'd like to see change in the browser extensions? It's not something we're doing as part of this project, but I can forward your feedback to the appropriate team.

I don't see the user profile dropdown menu in the new version. Is that just because it is a beta version?

msankaran Can you clarify what you're referring to? Do you mean the menu in the other area of the web app that has links to your profile? If so, we're not planning to add that here specifically, but if you go to the bottom of the vaults menu, you can find the "Manage Account" button to get back to the account center. In the future, we will likely be adding more features directly to this view so you won't need to use "Manage Account" very much.

Not liking that the log out option is "hidden."

hulbertcarol can you elaborate on this? We've always had it at the bottom of a menu, although if you have quite a few vaults I can see how it could be harder to find now.

In this list of items, I think incorporating a FILTER in addition to the SORT would be helpful.

xinit What kinds of filters would you want to see here? Note that the category menu is a filter.

I would like to see my custom icons there as well. Actually, there are only the default icons.

DenalB custom icons will be coming in a future version. 👍 The regular rich icons should be working though. Are you saying that a Login item for google.com doesn't show the Google icon?

Maybe I missed it but where is the "+" icon to add a new login or item? Even if it is only a Read-only version, I would have thought the design would show the Add login icon.

APieceOfFriedChicken We opted to hide buttons and menus that we haven't finished just yet rather than have a bunch of stuff that would do nothing when you click on it. 😄

Phew, I made it. Looking forward to continuing these discussions.
