    You can find instructions on how to update here: How to keep 1Password up to date

    Thanks again for all of the feedback and for always helping us make 1Password more useful for your needs and your workflows.

In addition to making this optional, IMO, this should also be a setting that is not defaulted.

If it is defaulted, Org/Family admins should be able to default this setting to on/off.

As an IT Manager, my team dealt with 6 IT helpdesk tickets just today that we can identify as most likely related to this change.

    Thank you for the feedback, I've passed your request along to the team internally. Can you tell me a little more about the help desk tickets that were generated as a result of this new feature? I'd like to know a little more about how the new item creation flow is being received by your users, and where specifically it isn't working for them, so that I can share that with the team as well.
