Hello harczuk! 👋

Thank you for the feedback! Have you tried 1Password 8's compact mode? It will change the density of the 1Password app. Follow these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on Settings.
  4. Click on Appearance.
  5. Choose "Compact".

I just want a great password manager that lets me use iCloud! Sorry but I trust iCloud so much more that 1passwords servers. I trust apple more than 1password.

Legacy iCloud-synced standalone vaults were used before we introduced 1Password accounts. We ran up against the limits of standalone vaults and what they could support technologically and we introduced 1Password.com in order to bring folks a more functional and more secure experience.

In addition to introducing popular features such as secure family sharing and item history, 1Password.com accounts are much more secure than older standalone vaults. Unlike older standalone vaults that are only protected using your password, your 1Password account data is protected and encrypted using a secret that is derived from both your account password and your Secret Key. You're also able to further secure your 1Password account using two-factor authentication, something that you couldn't do with standalone vaults synced using iCloud.

We have more information about how 1Password secures the most important data in your life here: About the 1Password security model
