How to rename a tag?

How can I rename a tag in the Windows version of 1Password without having to rename all the tags on the items manually?


1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: 2.2.3
OS Version: Windows 10

    DenalB Thanks. That's good to know.

    MrC I found the converter easy to use. To me there's enough value there I would have paid for a copy. I did a small import and then another big one using the converter to get to 1pif. Honestly, I liked that the converter did one thing and did it well. As a new user I didn't have to become an expert on the file formats. I just put in my data and it spit out what 1Password wanted. As a new user knowing I could have done more to pre-manipulate the data would have been wasted on me.

    Hi malSaysHi !

    You can stay with v7 as long as it’s working for you. Actually, there is no need to upgrade to v8. 👍

    I can’t speak to most of your items here, but will ask about the converter. Is there something that could be adjusted in the converter for you regarding your tags, to be less work overall?

    Hi,

    Brand new user here. I just migrated over after years of being a password safe (pwsafe) user.
    I had really looked forward to reorganizing my 600+ passwords using the tagging features.
    For example, in password safe the annotation for sub "folders" was "."

    I downloaded V8 to start but
    - It can't directly import pwsafe files
    - I can't import 1pif files

    I downloaded V7 so I could use the mrc-converter-suite suite.

    Folks - As a new user V7 for me was an upgrade from V8.

    I'm working through tons of renaming the imported pwsafe tags and improving on the organization now. V7 has been a pleasure to use.

    I know this may be disheartening to hear. And I know that doing a re-write of a mature product (which is what I'm guessing V8 is) is a massive undertaking.

    But I figured you'd want to hear this from a new customer who's heard enough good things about your product that I paid up front for a year without testing the waters first.

    Keep chugging.
    I can't wait until V8 has parity, especially around tags.
    In the meantime unless you tell me it represents a security risk, I've gone "back" to V7.

    I welcome getting flamed if I'm just so new that I've missed some alternate way of doing this stuff in V8.

    Hi folks, DenalB is correct here. We recognize this is not an ideal solution and it's on our list of things to improve going forward. Thanks for bearing with us on this!

    Hi @winklerrr !

    How can I rename a tag in the Windows version
    Actually, this feature is not implemented in 1Password 8. As a workaround, you could remove 1Password 8 and install 1Password 7 again. Here you are able to rename tags. After renaming, you could switch back to 1Password 8 again. It's not a perfect solution, I know, but there is no other way at the moment... 😕

    I have two PCs, one running 7.9.828 & 8.5.0.

    Only on the 7.9.828 PC, I can right-click on the Tab to change (in the Tab listing on the left side of the screen) > "Rename/F2" and "Delete".
