4 years agoI've been using 1Password since version 3—buying every update when it was released and now I have a subscription. However with all those new versions I'm very frustrated to observe that the application is losing more and more useful features.
For instance, in the past it was possible to drag an application into the 1Password window to add an entry for a software license and the page would open automatically after dropping the application in order to fill it in.
Then in version 5 it was still possible to drag the application into 1Password, but the new entry would no longer open automatically and you each time had to search for it before being able to edit it. I felt this was a serious degradation of the user experience, since it is obvious a user wants to add a serial number after dragging an app to the password manager.
Now I've tried to do the same again in 1Password 8.9.8 and I notice that now it's no longer possible at all to drag an application to 1Password. There is only error message informing me that I dropped a type of file that 1Password can't handle.
It is incomprehensible to me, why a company decides to degrade their application, by actively removing established functionality that was really useful and made the application easy to use. If this trend continues I guess I will have to look for a new password manager in the future …
