Feedback regarding auto-lock, shortcuts, and search in 1Password 8

Hello @ckellsworth! 👋

Thank you for taking the time to write in with your feedback. It really helps the team focus on the areas that still need improvement and polish and we appreciate your reports. I'll respond below:

1) the App does not stay open, for whatever reasons as it interacts with the Browser plugins the "desktop" app closes down.. or maybe other logic kills it idk...... its really annoying. i use this app for soo much more than just logins having the window close is frustrating and slows my work down.

Can you tell me a little more about the issue? Are you able to identify a specific action that closes the desktop app's window? Does it happen when you unlock 1Password from the browser extension? If it does then are you unlocking 1Password using your account password, Touch ID, or your Apple Watch?

2) Hot keys/keyboard shortcuts working within browser to switch between vaults, I have many vaults, each vault might have the same website but different credentials based on what i am doing, not being able to switch between vaults without having to touch my mouse is welll... slow....
3) the Hot keys only switching between account and not Valts like before ug!!!!! ... a great improvement over 7 would be to allow us to assign within the app what hot keys aka cmd+1 goes to the vault i specify.

It sounds like collections will help with number 3. Collections allow you to specify which vaults and items you see and search so that you can exclude the vaults you don't need during your regular day. You can read more about Collections here: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

Once you've created collections you can switch between them using Command‑2 to Command‑9 on your keyboard for the desktop app and Quick Access.

Collections are not yet available in the browser extension but you can use Quick Access and Universal Autofill to switch to a certain collection and then fill your login into any app from Quick Access itself.

4) the seaching like UG!!!!! really enter no longer "searches" but opens the item . I have never seen any other program expect you to use a key modifer when pressing enter to actually return a search result..... can i change this??????

1Password 8's search dropdown surfaces the most relevant item as quickly as possible rather than just presenting a list of all items that might possibly match the search term in some way and then requiring someone to go through the list to find the right item. That being said, I've passed along your feedback to the team. They're actively working on improving search for the future.

For the time being, once you've typed in your search term, press Command-Enter to show all matching items. You can also click on "Show all matching items" at the bottom of the dropdown.
