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!

I do need to select a vault every time I go to the 1Password website, as sometimes I need a personal or a company login, and sometimes it's one of our client's logins I need.
SvendK thanks for sharing your ideas! Just wanted to mention that in the app, you can also type the name of a vault in the search field to find and open it.
I had to recover a login but I could not find how to view the history in the new format. I found it easily in the old format.
Hops55 did you find it? Click on "Last edited" at the bottom of an item, and if there are previous versions you'll see a button to view them.
I dont like the fonts when you edit the new page. It doesnt show lower case letters.
peterkearney can you share a screenshot of what you mean? I can see both uppercase and lowercase letters when editing items.
Why doesn't it have a month and year select? Or allow me to type the date in? If it does exist, I couldn't figure it out - typing didn't work, scrolling didn't work.
PersisNuva I'm hoping we can find time to improve this soon. As MerryBit said (thank you!), the first time you click in the date field it will open this calendar view, but if you click again in the field it will go away and you can type the date out yourself.
2 UX issues I've found
Thanks for those, KlfJoat! The new item quirk is something we plan to address. Tags autocomplete will be coming in the future, but it didn't exist in the old interface either, so it's been lower priority.
I just dont understand why when you go to "Open & Fill" with Chrome extension to access 1Password.com (your acct.) you have to fill up "Secret key & Password" But, when you edit on of item on Chrome extension it direct you to your account at 1Password.com.
Hey, MrNice. Good question. The edit button is connected to some magic that signs you in automatically, but "Open & Fill" is available on all Login items and we haven't treated 1Password Login items any different. However, just this week we introduced a new feature that will make that edit button magic work any time you visit your account sign-in page if the browser extension is already unlocked. Hope that helps!
No, I actually just like to edit and make updates in the pop out window while in the browser. If I'm going to do any "big" updates then I will use the desktop app.
Soopey a couple things that may help you:
- We hope to enable basic editing in the extension popup in the future!
- It sounds like you have the desktop app, but it's not connected to your extension. Connecting them will help in two ways. Unlocking one will unlock the other, and clicking "Edit" in the extension will open the desktop app instead of the web app, which will be faster and not open a bunch of tabs. These instructions will help you set that up: https://support.1password.com/connect-1password-browser-app/
Idk if this is already on your radar, but I can't edit an item icon in the new view.
kylelambert yeah, that's on our list still. You can also edit icons in the desktop apps.
When clicking the Chrome extension button my notes are formatted with asterisks as italics and underscores as something else. Is this expected behavior?
collind yes, this is Markdown formatting. We don't have it yet in the web app, and in the other apps you can disable it, but I don't think it can be disabled in the extension right now. I'll pass this along.
Chrome extension > if I view a Login record > there used to be a "Share" button in the panel (e.g. generate a link that'd expire in a week).
That button is no longer visible from the Chrome extension.ontario I think it depends on the item. Some items can be filled in the current page and show an "Autofill" button there instead, but in that case, you can still find the "Share" option if you click the three dots in the top right corner next to the "Autofill" button.
I can have my insurance card or driver's license information typed into a record (an "Item"), but I can't attach a scan of the card.
Liazard you actually can. On any item, while editing it, click "add more" and select "Attach a File".
How do I open a password entry as a new tab. I sometimes like to have multiple (login) entries open. Because they contain additional data I need to access or review. Opening and closing each entry one by one is more cumbersome.
inetbas the web app isn't currently designed to make this easy, but you can do it. If your browser has a "duplicate tab" function, you can use that. Otherwise you can just copy the URL and make a new tab and paste it in. At the moment you will have to sign in again in the new tab, but we're working on some improvements there.
Another option is to use the desktop app instead. In the top right corner of an item, click the three dots and select "Open Item in New Window". One of my favorite parts of that feature is you can actually drag and drop fields from the item onto text fields in your browser or any other app. You can also do this from the main desktop app window.
Liking the new interface, but I'd appreciate if it were possible to view the otpauth:// URI for OTP codes in the View previous versions screen as well.
Racer77 this is an interesting request! I'm supportive philosophically, but I'm curious what the practical use case is for viewing that URI? Are you wanting to see when it changes or are you checking the value for something in particular?
I don't like that I can't use both the search function and the tags at the same time.
There's a feature that might do what you want, reconstitution. Select the tag in the sidebar and click the magnifying glass icon at the top of the list to filter just that list of items instead of searching everything. You can also press Command-Option-F (Mac) or Control-Alt-F (Windows and Linux).
even after I opted in to try the new design, then then every subsequent time I go to log in, the system keeps reverting to the invitation to try the new design
emmee this is very strange, and I'm at a loss for an explanation. The new experience is the default for everyone now, so even if your browser wasn't remembering your preference for some reason, you should be seeing the new thing.

When I try to open my 1Password Login page, I keep getting the announcement of the "newly designed experience" and even after I opted in to try the new design, then then every subsequent time I go to log in, the system keeps reverting to the invitation to try the new design, and when I try to sidestep that redundancy I end up having to log in all over again. I am seriously annoyed! I don't care about the new design one way or the other; I just want to get on with my other business please.

Hi, Max_ag &1Password Team!
Thanks for your amazing service thus far :)
Your app has helped me tonnes with managing all my account! >.<
Super invaluable!I do have to comment on something though.
I don't like that I can't use both the search function and the tags at the same time.
I used to be able to search a specific user name AND add the "email" tag on top of it, to narrow it down to the email account's login details
Now I can only use either / or of the functions, and I have to manually scroll thru the entries before I find what I want.
I'd really appreciate if I could stack both search functions at the same time.
Thanks for your consideration, Max_ag :)

Liking the new interface, but I'd appreciate if it were possible to view the
otpauth://URI for OTP codes in the View previous versions screen as well. Since the URIs are only visible when editing an item of 1Password 8, it's impossible to see them in the history without fully restoring the item. A dropdown option like "View URI" would be great. - inetbasOccasional Contributor

Hate the new interface, or at least its inclination to rearrange my Items. 1Password is not a sufficiently important part of my life that I have interest in spending any time learning to adjust to unnecessary new tweaks. The new one is endlessly confusing. How do I get back to the previous interface, which was intuitive and clean?
If you want to expend your company's resources to actually improve 1Password, I suggest you work on something significant, like the current inability to attach files to records ("Items"). For example I can have my insurance card or driver's license information typed into a record (an "Item"), but I can't attach a scan of the card. It has to be in a separate record ("Item").

Bug?
Chrome extension > if I view a Login record > there used to be a "Share" button in the panel (e.g. generate a link that'd expire in a week).
That button is no longer visible from the Chrome extension.
To Share = I now have to log into 1Password in a full browser window. - collindNew Contributor
When clicking the Chrome extension button my notes are formatted with asterisks as italics and underscores as something else. Is this expected behavior? It has already confused some on our team. As you might expect filename patterns with wildcards are very affected.
