Hard to sign in to multiple accounts

With 1Password 8, you now need to sign into each account individually. That makes sense. But it is also easy to get lost. On initial log-in, I am only prompted to sign into my main account. Then I can't figure out why the item I'm looking for appears to be missing. Eventually I remember that it is probably in a different account. It is then hard to find the button to sign into the other account (even now I don't remember where it is). Through trial and error I find it, only to have to go through the same thing two weeks later.

One possible fix would be to prompt to sign into each account every time you sign into any. Other something else--I just wanted to bring the problem to your attention.

    Hi @josharian,

    Sorry to hear that it's taking extra time to locate items in certain accounts. I recommend using the same account password for all the 1Password accounts you use: How to use multiple accounts

    You'll still be able to switch between accounts and this should speed up the regular sign in process quite significantly! Your accounts don't need to share an email addresses to do this, and since they both retain their own individual Secret Keys, they remain secure.

    Let me know how this works for you or if you have any questions. 🙂
