    Given that this causes low – but recurring – frustration, I thought there would be more people asking to restore this feature. Going through this forum, I noticed there were not all too many posts about it.

    Still, this is the list (ordered by discussion ID, newest at top), for reference:

  • Hi buckZor,

    Thanks for your feedback here, I'm happy to pass it on to our Product team. In the meantime, duplicating an item will create another copy with the same icon, though you'd need to edit all the details contained in that duplicated copy.

    Let me know if you give that a try or have any questions. πŸ™‚

    +1 I am desperately missing this feature from v7, why do we take steps backwards with v8?? Furthermore, I have icon differentiation now and I can't fix it.. is there anyway to get an icon from an existing entry to use in another entry? Example:
    I have several entries using this icon, from v7

    Now with v8, this is as close as I can get:

    This is making me crazy!

    +1, copy/pasting an icon from the site rather than having to download it first would be much more efficient and make me use custom icons far more often

    No worries, understood. I figure other people might want the same options. Thanks for the consideration. πŸ‘

    So basically if there is an image I want to use for an entry. I use macOS native shortcut control+Option+shift+4 to select an area I want to copy to the clipboard. Select the icon inside edit mode of an entry in 1Password and paste. This is often when I want a custom icons to represent something. And I don’t want to go download a picture and is the correct size/area of the image and format, go back to 1Password navigate to the folder where the image is etc… the method of above I have done in 1Password 7 as part of my regular workflow for building entries and it’s just super simple.

  • Hi snowy,

    While this isn't currently possible in 1Password 8, we are actively tracking user feedback on the topic so I appreciate you letting us know it's something you'd like to see. If you're open to sharing more about your use case, additionals details gives us the best opportunity to advocate on your behalf, but either way I've recorded your feedback.

    Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again. πŸ™‚
