how do I change default vault for saving passwords in Windows 1Password version 8.6.0

Hi @abandonedbrain, thanks for offering this thought. I can appreciate why you might feel that way.

As it happens, we also have not been extremely excited about the previous discontinuities between each platform app. Of course, we want each app to feel at home on its relevant operating system, and especially to take advantage of the unique strengths of each platform wherever possible - but we've also very much wanted to bring the apps into closer alignment across platforms. So that's part of what we're endeavoring to do across the board with 1Password 8, now that all of the new generation of apps will share a common Rust-based core.

With that said, the feature you're describing here may not make the 1Password 8 for Mac general release. When it comes to the default vault for saving behavior, we have to balance the benefits and potential drawbacks of a couple different user scenarios. I posted about that here.

And with that said, we're taking the landmark of 1Password 8 as an opportunity not to do things the way they've been done on one particular previous version of 1Password, but to implement new solutions that work better for as many people as possible. That's an ongoing process - and we welcome your feedback on the best ways to get there!
