IP8 "Default Vault for Saving"

Please add my vote, how do I role back to version 7 as this is causing chaos with passwords being saved to the wrong shared folder.

Adding a vote for this feature. When you’re on the Search tab (which is where I usually like to be), it always seems to default to save new passwords to Private vault. We really need to be able to specify the default save-to vault because you can’t choose which specific vault you’re viewing in the Search tab.

I've got your feedback recorded for the team. Thanks folks.

Agree. I used to be able to save a default vault to save a new item. It does not appear that is the case anymore. Needs to add back

Seconded with prejudice!

Please add my vote as well. I can’t understand why this feature would be removed. Very frustrating.

Seconding a feature request for setting a default vault at the global level. This was a very reassuring feature in 1Password 7 and it's quite critical to ensure my personal passwords are not accidentally committed to my shared, corporate-owned vault (which, for some unknown reason, switched positions with my personal vault from how things were in 1P7, such that it is now the global default, albeit an non-modifiable global default).

I could say the lack of this feature is merely annoying for my personal use, but it's a show-stopper for the corporate account I help manage; we won't be able to upgrade our users until this is resolved. Thankfully, I caught this beforehand by playing guinea pig, but I would've missed it if my vaults hadn't loaded "backward" in 1P8 from how they were in 1P7.

On another note:
It would be helpful to know the reasoning behind this removal of a simple, useful feature such as this between major releases. Was it a rushed release, so devs couldn't implement some features? Or did this not get included in the set of a base features needing implementation in 1P8 prior to an initial release?

I ask because - as the admin of a 250 person 1Password org - we're paying for a set of secure and reliable features, first and foremost. I would argue that this is a security concern in addition to a simple usability concern given that users can unknowingly commit passwords to a shared vault (causing over-sharing) or vice versa (effectively breaking compliance/governance on a shared password that ought to have been placed in a shared vault but is accidentally placed in a personal vault).

I see that other organizations https://1password.community/discussion/129225/how-to-save-to-default-vault-1password-8-mac-ios#:%7E:text=Community%20Member-,May%2013,-%2B1%20no%20%2B15 communicated this issue as well around early May, so knowing a timeline would also be helpful.

(If this is out-of-scope for the question at hand, I can open another thread in a more appropriate area re: dev/design processes)

To end on a high note: the new design is lovely!

Hi ag_mike_d,
So if I have a collection selected that has 3 vaults in it, which of the 3 vaults is the "current vault"? How does it choose which to use? In the case that I had the issue, the collection has "Private", "Shared Vault 1", "Shared Vault 2".

In our family use-case, we basically have 3 shared vaults (we have a few more for odd-ball cases, but they are not normally part of 1P7 All Vaults nor in the primary 1P8 collection): His Vault; Her Vault; and Our Vault. We want all logins to be in one of those 3 places. My new logins should go to His Vault; My wife's to Her Vault; and none should go to Our Vault by default. We are a fully shared family and know that both of us can see each others vaults if w so choose, but we choose not to to keep our list of logins (and credit card) to just our specific ones. If we need to use the others login for a specific reason (wife using my computer for instance), she can easily select the Her Vault and go. We also use the Our Vault for things like Netflix Password, etc. - those things that we expect both to use day-to-day.

It sounds like if my wife uses my computer and shows her vault, my new passwords will now be placed in Her Vault until such time that I switch the active vault or recognize it is going to the wrong vault and correct it individually for every login created.

I don't want to have to remember to check which vault I create a login in every time I create a login. I would like a default. I am the tech guy in the family. My wife really doesn't want and realistically - she won't check which vault a login is created in. She wants it simple.

So please, cast a few more votes for us to bring back the ability to set a default vault.
Thank you,
- L

Hello Lacrocious,

Thanks for your message. 1Password 8 saves items by default to the vault you currently have selected. If you'd like to change the vault the item is being saved to, you can do so by tapping the Account/Vault option at the top of the item creation screen.

The ability to select a default vault for saving is feature request that we're currently tracking and I've cast a vote on your behalf. 👍

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We'll be here to help!
