2 years agoExperiment #4 – New interface in 1Password.com’s vault view
Hi Folks!
Today we’re bringing you a beta version of a major update to the vault item view interface on 1Password.com. Our goal is to align the design with the main desktop application as well as improve our ability to introduce new features consistently across all of our platforms.
Unlike previous experimental features in labs, you are not required to manually enable this experiment, and it will not appear under the “Labs” tab in the 1Password apps. As this is an updated vault item view of our web interface, you can access it directly via this link.
At this time, the new interface provides a read-only version, which means it is limited in functionality compared to the current interface. We wanted to start testing as early as possible to identify any potential issues well in advance of a full rollout. Full functionality that aligns with the current vault item view interface will be gradually introduced over the next couple of months as we continue testing and developing.
The primary questions I'm trying to answer are:
1. Do you prefer this new interface over the old one?
2. Do you see value in us rolling out this new interface of the vault item view to all 1Password users?
3. Are you experiencing any performance issues?
4. How often do you use the vault item view in 1Password.com?
We are eager to hear what you think about this new web interface. Please share your feedback and thoughts below in the thread!

1. Do you prefer this new interface over the old one?
Yes, this new interface is much better, dark mode is much easier on the eyes, the easy access vertical dot menu next to the edit button creates easier workflows with less clicks. All in all, a much easier to use interface compared to the last one.2. Do you see value in us rolling out this new interface of the vault item view to all 1Password users?
Yes, for all the reasons mentioned above.3. Are you experiencing any performance issues?
No, not all. I am using it with my main account with two browser windows open and dozens of tabs. Haven't felt any performance issues,4. How often do you use the vault item view in 1Password.com?
I use it whenever I need to do something not supported or easy to do in the browser plugin UI panels. Which might be once every two weeks or so after the initial setup and assignment of vaults. - morbeusNew Contributor
I am considering switching to 1Password so this beta is very timely. I use the vault webpage of my old password manager as my preferred interface for managing my passwords and other information. This means the vault webpage of 1Password will be important to me. When I evaluated the current vault webpage, I was disappointed because it looked a lot like how it was when I last evaluated (and rejected) 1Password about 2 years ago. I almost moved on but then I noticed the "Get a sneak peek of the redesign in progress!" notice. I was amazed at how much better the interface was. There was the new filter and sorting features that were missing before. Import passwords was moved (you need it but it doesn't merit prime real estate!) and the Archive plus View Recently Deleted was moved to the lower left (again, reflecting how often such features are used).
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!
Others may love it but I consider that a seriously bad idea. My password manager should never just change my password. I know how to change passwords. I use the password generator and change it on the website THEN change it in the password manager, not the other way around so that seemed like unacceptable overreach that needs to go away before I sign up with 1Password. I hope will be the case.
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? I also like that the password strength bar, which took up too much space, was replaced by the small circle and statement (like "Fantastic") that get's the same job done but in much less space.
So, how likely is it that this new look will be the new normal? I ask, because the answer will affect whether or not I will sign up or move on after my trial period is over.

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

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.

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

JoshBer that's very strange. There is a known issue right now where new items will always default to being saved in the Private vault, but you should be able to change that at the bottom of the new item popup. And once the item is created it should be possible to move it using the triple-dot menu in the top right corner of the item.

Nice program

Hey, having the problem with the new view that I cannot create items in any vault other than Private. If I try to create a login in another vault, it gets saved in Private instead. And once saved, it cannot be moved.
