Please add my support for allowing items to move between categories. I have over 400 items in 1Password, and for expediency as a new user, I long ago developed the habit of clicking +New Item and then Login for almost every one of them.
I can hear you sighing at this all the way over here in Chicago (lol). I consider myself a power user, and when I bought 1Password years ago, I played with categories and found them not useful for me, primarily because some categories require fields that I didn't want to fill out or found unnecessary for my purposes. But I'd like, for example, to collect email accounts I created using the Login button so that I can click Emails in the sidebar instead of searching for tags, which I do use.
For better or worse, we live in a "Don't make me click twice" world, and end users like me expect software to let us do what we want our way.
Please don't take this as a complaint, because I don't mean it that way. I've used 1Password for years. I love it and I evangelize it to my friends and co-workers. One of my former supervisors was hacked two weeks ago. I set up a Zoom meeting with him and spent 20 minutes of my time demonstrating 1Password and describing its advantages. Next week I'm going to drop by his office for a hand-holding session to get things set up for him.
Sorry for the long note, but I thought it might be useful to hear the reasoning behind my request for this feature, which I suspect resonates with many others here.
Thanks for reading all the way to the end of this!
