Interface inconstancies (w.r.t collections)

The arrears to be 4 ways that you can use 1password
- the main app itself (I get how to use this)
- the Mac menu bar
- the Safari menu bar
- the Safari inline-field icon
- <> (I can see how to use this)

All of them pop-up different interfaces and none of them seem to talk to each other (collection selection wise).

Using the Safari extension is actually making me angry as it seems to have no collection ability at all when using the 'inline field' icon and it appears random as to whether I see a particular vault or not. I have had to resort to copying/pasting from the main app as that is the only way I am able to find the password I am looking for.

Can someone please explain how to manage collections within the Safari inline-field pop-up icon thingy??

1Password Version: 8.9.10
Extension Version: 2.4.1
OS Version: macOS 13.1
Browser:_ Safari

    The items that show on the inline menu are based on the root URL from the page you're on matching the URL in the 1Password item. If the root URL doesn't match, it won't be suggested. Furthermore, we will only display suggestions from the vaults toggled as visible in the following location: Right click the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar > Settings > Accounts & Vaults section.

    Hi @"paul.m_1p" The issue is nothing to do with the URL, and is nothing to do with specific websites. It's to do with support for collections and multiple accounts.

    Hey JamesHenderson - Thanks for taking the time to share these details. 🙂

    Currently, support for Collections isn't available in 1Password in the browser (browser extension), but I'd be happy to pass your insight forward as we work to make improvements in that regard.

    All that being said, if you're seeing issues on specific websites, feel free to share some further details and we can work with you to investigate what might be going wrong.

    Cheers!
