I may be a little late to the party and so far haven't tried to use it. I, of course, don't know all the history and logic behind where it's at, but here goes.
Having an editor that can handle for...
I will share a quick personal experience about the Markdown formatting option that was a bit of an issue:
I have some Secure Notes where I still stored some old passwords that I wanted to keep in case I need to remember it at some point (i.e. some old device, or service that I have not yet remembered to change). Some of these weren't that important enough to justify creating brand new logins.
At some point, in the process of "moving" some of these passwords from one Secure Note to a different Secure Note, I just highlighted the passwords I needed and pasted it... Because some of these passwords contained special characters that would show up as formatting, of course, that meant I copied wrong passwords, which I didn't realize some time later. Lol. Luckily, I was able to recover from non-1Password sources, but it might have been a potential issue.
Three things I learned from this:
- Whenever I install 1Password on a new device, I ensure to turn off Markdown the first thing.
- Of course, I can avoid this by going to "Edit" and then copying information from there. But, I don't usually require formatting; so, why risk it.
- WYSIWYG would be great. I didn't realize people specifically requested Markdown formatting.
Just a personal experience. No feedback needed. Thanks.
