New beta update is now available

Hello. 👋 Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Please allow me to start with @RickiKing and work my way back up from there.

The movement of the categories has been very interesting as I personally love the move of the categories to be a filter on top of the item list. To me it feels more natural there, allows the sidebar to be super simple by avoid having separate modes, and frees up my sidebar to focus on vaults and higher level features. With that said, we've heard from many users with a small number of vaults and tags that the sidebar doesn't provide enough value now as it's mostly empty. We'll continue to iterate here to see if we can find a way to make everyone happy, but for the moment at least, we will be sticking with the current design until we find a way to do that.

As for item counts, I couldn't agree more. This is an active discussion we're having and we have some designs we're working through to make this happen. Hopefully early in the new year.

Changing vault icons directly within the app is something we're looking at and it will be added at some point. In the interim this can be accomplished using the website.

And thank you for reporting the broken link. We just finished changing from https://1password.community/categories/early-access/ to https://1password.community/categories/desktop-betas now that we're officially completed the Early Access phase and into the Beta phase. There was a window of time during this change where the feedback link would give you a Page Not Found error. I'm sorry you tripped over it but thankfully everything is up-to-date now.

@BillStiles77: I'm so happy to hear you love the Reveal Password button on the unlock screen as much as I do. 🥰

@Mystic: We're continuing to play with the layout and while I personally agree that the font on the left panel has gotten too small, I do appreciate that my sidebar fits more vaults now. I suspect someday we will allow for some customization here as there's strong feelings on all sides and the immensely different screen sizes available. 😊

Regarding the window shadow on Windows 11, I'll ask around and see if there's anything we can do about that. As for there being "no possibility to change the order of items", I don't follow. If you mean the main item list, you can sort by Title, Date Created, and Date Modified from the sort menu above the item list. I'm guessing there's something else you were looking for? Please elaborate so I can better understand what's on your mind.

Finally, you mentioned that you were otherwise 100% satisfied with 1Password 8, and that's lovely music to my ears. 🎶 🤗 We'll do our best to raise the bar even further in 2022. 🙌

Take care, stay safe out there, and enjoy the rest of your year.
