Matching specific 1PW Vaults to specific Safari Profiles

Now that the issues with Safari Profiles are in the past (crosses fingers) I have a wrinkle to request.

I use Safari Profiles to organize my browser life: Personal, Research, Employer, ClientA, ClientB, etc. I have nearly matching 1Password Vaults.  Much like how you can limit which Vaults are searched / used for Safari, I'd like to be able to refine that to be on a per-Profile basis.

The issue is that I may have several accounts with a provider (such as MS365, Google, Okta, etc) based on what they are used for (personal, employer-provided, consulting, client-provided, and so on).

Autofill is always fraught with peril because 1Password often selects the wrong one.

It would be much easier and much more secure if Profile A in Safari could be limited to having access to a subset of the available vaults, and Profile B have access to a different subset of the available vaults.

I may be overthinking it, but at >1500 entries in 1Password, and several persnickety security environs to operate in, this would be a big improvement.

    Hello jasonmccsmith! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out! You can definitely choose which vaults are available in each of your profiles, follow these steps in each profile where you're using 1Password for Safari: 

    1. Open your browser.
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings. 
    3. Click Accounts & vaults.
    4. Turn off any vaults that you don't want to see in that profile. 


    I hope that helps. 

    -Dave

      It does, and I am now a bit embarrassed. I missed the note stating that settings are specific to the browser profile.

      Thank you, perhaps this public humiliation will help someone else. 😂

        No need to be embarrassed, it's easy to miss! This will certainly help other people in the community and I'm happy that I was able to help. 🙂
