Feedback on 1Password 8 Quick Access
The new Quick Access workflow is a big step down for my team. We use secure notes to store sensitive data associated with clients. Previously I would:

3 years agoHi Jason9,
Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, screenshots and all. I'm sorry to hear Quick Access isn't fitting into your workflow as well as we would hope.
First, I've added a vote on your behalf to a couple feature requests that are being tracked internally that should address:
- Showing additional fields in Quick Access
- Which monitor item detail windows open on
- The main window regaining focus after a detail window is closed
While I can't make any promises on what will come of these requests in the future, I'd like to offer some potential workarounds in the meantime:
Since Quick Access offers shortcuts for the main fields of each item type, saving items as logins or passwords would create the possibility to open Quick Access, locate an item, and copy its password all without touching your mouse or opening a new window. Each item also has its own notes field that function similarly to the bodies of secure note items. Here's an example:
The main 1Password window refocusing when closing the item detail windows seems to be a byproduct of the same option existing in the main app where
returning to the starting point would feel more natural:
I found that closing the main 1Password window stopped it from surfacing after closing detail windows. If you work primarily out of Quick Access it may be worthwhile to use a keyboard shortcut to only open the main window when needed:
I recognize these may not be viable workarounds for reasons outside of this thread, but I'm happy to hear how it goes if you try them. Let me know if you have any questions or other feedback and thanks again for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
