No menu bar window on 1Password 8 for Mac
With 1Password 7, when I clicked the menu bar icon, it would pop-up a window without launching the main app. But now, this seems to be gone. We now have Show a Menu, Show Quick Access and Show main ...
Copy/Pasted from my original thread on this. I’ve seen scores over other users voicing the same complaints since 1P8 was released on the Mac.

Its not that I can’t access things from Quick Access, it’s that I can’t do it nearly as quickly and easily as before. In 1P7, clicking Menu Bar icon immediately brought up a nice, easy to use miniature 1P interface.
With Quick Access, you now have to search for an item, with no option to just pick something from the favorites menu or your tags. Once you find your item, if it’s something you don’t want to just open in a browser, you have to click the menu next to the item. Even that doesn’t bring up the full item, just the username and password. If you want to see something else on the item, you have to click Open In New Window, which oddly transforms the UI into a pop window that you can’t go back from, only close out and start over. Or you can click to open the item in the full 1P app, completely defeating the purpose of everything you’ve just done.
This is a significant step backwards. The previous Mini UI was a literal mini version of the app that made it simple to quickly view an entire item with minimal effort.
Also, you can’t create or edit items in Quick Access as you could with Mini. Quick Access is just convoluted and clunky. The more I try to use it, the more annoyed and baffled I get.
