Is v8 a mistake edition?

I think I have experienced similar on rare occasions running 1Password8 on Windows 10 but have not been specifically monitoring for that as an issue. There are other issues as well that mean I am running v7 on my iOS iPhone 12 and iPad Air 4 as I cannot use the v8 upgrade due to the major issues of no option for PIN security (I am completely baffled as to why this would have ever been removed) and also found the issue with dates displaying in the very annoying US format regardless of your device settings extremely frustrating (trying to live with this on my Windows and MacOS for now) as well as the inability to remove completely unnecessary letter dividers in favourites on iOS means half your valuable screen real estate on your mobile phone is taken up with useless spacers/dividers (if you have a list of say 8-12 favourites specifically designed to fit within your phone screen area and are now having up to 12 'dividers' added to the list is painful; as you are then having to scroll some way to get to the last entry which just is illogical and an ergonomically poor design feature).

It's a pity because v8 looks quite good in some ways and I'm sure a lot of effort went into it - but there's been a bit of a fail in these areas around security (the PIN is critical) and user interface & ergonomics...
