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. 🙂

+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.
