Feature request: Name for entities linked to your account
Here is one little idea for improvement that just came up to my mind, a feature that let me give devices and browsers linked to my account, where I have installed the 1Password manager, a name or alias. I use the password manager on three computers, two mobiles and two or three browsers on each of them. With a name would it be easier to identify entities that should be unlinked. There is a potential security issue if I forget to unlink devices that are not in use any longer.
One thing is that it would be good if I could add a name to the entities in the Manage Account dialogue box. Even better would it be if I were prompt to optionally give the new entity (device or browser) a name every time I install 1Password on a new device or browser.
I have more ideas for new features that I can share here later :)
Kindly,
Jonny
Hello jonand and questbahlin! 👋
Thank you for the feedback! I personally like how Signal Messanger does this: when linking a new device a prompt appears with your default device's name filled in but you can edit it to something more meaningful or descriptive.
While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request with our Product team on your behalf. They'll consider adding this sort of feature to 1Password in the future. 🙂

PB-46708037Great! Looking forward to it! Thanks!
+1 for me, I LOVE this idea! And just because most other services don't allow for this (I can't say I've ever seen one that did IIRC) doesn't mean 1Password shouldn't take the lead and start the trend.
Being able to see what devices are attached/logged in to your account is great. But being able to write a quick descriptor to each entry is even better - and would make much better use for what you already have in place there.
There are currently three entities in my list that are named exactly the same, "Chrome Lund, Sweden", which is the browser name and where I live. I am aware which these three instances are, but can't say which of them that belongs to which device. With one old instance also would I not be able to say which one to unlink. That is potentially unsafe.
