4 years agoHow does anyone use the new browser plugin? It's making us look for a new password manager.
I've been using 1Password for a few years now, but I (and my whole family) have been using the classic browser extension which integrates with the 1Password desktop application. The classic extension...

4 years agoHey @tonycoculuzzi ,
Thank you kindly for the feedback and input here, much appreciated!
I know that every visual change that drops on a user without expecting it might be taken extremely badly - we are users too and we know what it feels like when software changes out of the blue! But it is indeed just a matter of getting used to a new look and different location of functions you use.
1Password Classic is quite outdated, both UI wise and functionality wise. In my personal opinion, it is very Windows 98'y looking. An update was long overdue!
The new look is much more current, and big is often better (especially for older folks!) since you can clearly see what you are selecting and what you need. Now you can actually see the login item's details (including username, password, website URL and notes!) which was really missing in 1Password Classic.
As DenalB mentioned, you can still indeed use the classic extension if you prefer, but I hope you'll give the newer 1Password another week or two of test run before disqualifying it. It is really a treat to have 1Password show up automatically where you need it, letting you autofill with a single click.
The new extension has a settings page in which you can adjust some of its behavior if you don't like it. For example, you can turn off the inline menu so it won't show up automatically when you click on a username/password field - but again, that's one of the features that make the new extension so useful and great.
As for the crashing - that is something we definitely would like to help you with. Are you able to reproduce the crashing or is it completely random? What exactly crashes? The extension or the entire browser? do you get any errors?
Thanks again for all the feedback here. We'll keep improving things according to users feedback as we have always been, so feel free to share any other thoughts and experiences you have.
