Password becomes Login

Hi @EMILjo, thanks for the detailed explanation here!

It's possible that I haven't learned how to properly handle 1P or the idea behind categories and tags yet

Categories are the template used during the initial creation of an item. These can't be changed after the fact, except in the case of Password items turning to Logins when a username is added. As such, they're mostly helpful when you'd like to view and locate items based on their type, for example to see all of your stored Credit Card items.

In comparison, Tags serve as a method of labelling your items to help you organize and locate them in a way that works best for you. You can add as many tags to an item as you would like, and you can also add nested tags using a / ( for example Main tag/Nested tag) to provide more of an organizational structure.

At the moment I click on a given Tag and it shows ALL items from ALL Vaults. How is this going to make my search easier? How to click through and show all items that have a given Tag, are in a given Category and are in a given Vault?

To narrow down your search by tag, category, and vault, you can make use of the relevant search filters (such as =tag:Banking =category:Credit Cards =vault:Personal), followed by Ctrl + Enter to show all matching items. You can learn more about this in the support guide below:

• Search in the 1Password app to find what you need

In the model you propose, I do not know how to use Collections.

Collections provide a way to group a specific set of your vaults together. While a collection is selected in the app, you'll only see items from these vaults. This can be useful in situations where a user would like to see different sets of items depending on their current situation. For example, a user may have several work-related vaults, and several personal vaults. In this case, creating a Work collection and a Personal collection would enable them to view only work-related items while at work, and then switch to their personal collection to view only personal items after work hours.

However, in addition to the above organizational methods, I can definitely understand how adding more of a folder-type structure within vaults would be helpful and more intuitive for organizational purposes. I've gone ahead and filed this as a feature request with our product team on your behalf.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, let us know 😄
