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

Hey, everyone!

Earlier today we rolled out a new version of the web app and the star of this release is item sharing. From any item, you can now click the Share button at the top to get a link you can send to anyone, whether or not they use 1Password. If you click the vault name just above the item name, you'll find a "View history" button that will let you see how that item has been shared in the past.

Another change in this release is that deleted items will now only be available for 30 days, matching the rest of the apps. We've added a warning in the original interface that this change is coming soon to everyone.

We've fixed a variety of other bugs, and also added a "Getting Started" link to the help menu (next to the New Item button) that will give a basic introduction to the features.

You've also brought me more amazing feedback and questions, and I've got more answers. ⬇️

I did find the "move" option, but it didn't work for me. I could select it, and choose another vault, but the login wasn't actually moved.

JoshBer, I'm at a loss on this one. I've tested on my end and can't reproduce this issue. Would you be up for sending me a console log? You can send it to support+forum@1password.com with a link to this thread. Then just post back here with the support ID you receive in an auto-reply.

Is there any option to edit multiple items at once, similar to the desktop app?

kevinlevi95 right now we're focused on getting the new version working as well as the existing web app. So not yet, but we'll be bringing more features from the desktop app to the web in the future.

Will you be updating the 1Password product icon to match the new branding? The new branding looks amazing and really should be used for the products as well. It looks better and is confusing otherwise.

markzielinski glad you like the new look! The brand design is currently separate from the product, but I think our designers have plans to look at unifying them more in the future.

Can you make it so that the favorites can be manually sorted in addition to the filters you have set now?

jwenga I can pass this on! It's outside the scope of this project, but not outside the realm of possibility. :)

One deal breaker I had about the old interface happens when editing a login item. In the old interface, you have the key icon in the password field. If you click the key icon, it changes your password to something new - just like that with no questions asked!

morbeus Yep, this is something that's addressed in the new interface! The generated password won't replace what's there until you click "Use".

I noticed there is a new "..." menu which I like. Perhaps the "View Sharing History" and "View Item History" options could be accessed from there?

We released item history a couple weeks ago. Just click on "Last edited" at the bottom and if there are older versions, you'll see a "Show previous versions" button.

Sharing history just went out today. Click the vault name above the item name, then "View history", to see if it's been shared.

So, how likely is it that this new look will be the new normal?

It's pretty certain at this point. We're still finishing up some final pieces like Watchtower, but once we have feature parity with the old interface we'll be rolling this one out. And of course you're welcome to use it exclusively now.

Friction 1: The date picker doesn't let you type in the date, but instead, forces you to use the calendar select dialog.

noj thanks for reporting this! I just played around with it, and I agree it's pretty confusing. However, it actually is possible to type in the date. You just need to click in the date field again. The date picker will close and you can begin typing, even though there's no visible cursor, which is the really confusing part. I'll pass this on to the team.

Friction 2: You can't jump a year in the select dialog, so you have to scroll month by month until you get to the year you need to input.
Friction 3: When scrolling through multiple months at a time, the arrows to click to go to the next month bounce up and down depending on the number of days in that month. This makes it very frustrating when trying to go to a month in the far off future, because you can't just click in the same spot multiple times, but rather, have to keep moving your mouse up and down.

These are also valid points I'll pass on. Thanks!

Not sure if this is related to new UI or not, but I am getting an error trying to update one of my Identity items, in both Web and in Windows desktop app

Mancubus ew, that's bad! Thanks for the report. It sounds separate from this project, but we definitely need to fix that.

I would love to see the vault displayed in icons under each tag, not list.

Leno01 I'm sorry, I wasn't able to understand your request. We don't display vaults under tags anywhere I know of. Could you provide a screenshot of the part of the app you're referring to?

in the new interface, I tried to delete a nested tag (for example: Finance → Investing). I right clicked on Investing and deleted it (I did NOT expect that "Finance" tag would also be destroyed. But, it was gone. I think this is a bug?

luckman212 I'm a little confused. We don't have support for right-clicking on tags in the web app yet. Were you by chance using one of our desktop apps?

If so, what you described sounds possible if there were no items that have the tag "Finance". Tags in 1Password do not exist on their own, only as part of items. So if you make an item and add the tag "Finance/Investing", it will show up in the sidebar as a nested tag, but deleting "Investing" will also remove "Finance" because no other items are using that tag. I'm not sure if I explained that well.

It doesn't to work fine on my computer

Hi, WonderAleph, are you still having this problem? Usually an error like that is temporary and will pass. If it's still an issue, let me know and we can dig in.

if I edit an entry in the browser extension and it opens the legacy web page every time and I have to select the new experience

STAME good call! This is a known issue at the moment. We'll be addressing it before we roll this out as the default experience.

Really like the new look. First I've heard of the Beta, but it appears to have been out since January. When will this roll out?

RockwallMike thanks! We're gradually introducing it to more folks, so you're probably in the group that got access today. We're getting closer to finishing the first version, but we'll be doing a phased rollout to make sure we can address any urgent issues that come up.
