Set default Collection

Hi ag_andrew How are you? I'm using the latest version on my mac (1Password for Mac 8.10.58 81058041, on PRODUCTION channel) and almost everytime I open 1p I have to set the collection to the one I want -- it sets the one with all the vaults. What I'm doing wrong?! This is like that for years already! And it is very very annoying as sometimes I forget and end up using an old passord from my archieve vault. Thank you.

Great question. In the case of search terms, that isn't really possible unless because search terms are dynamic; you'd need a pretty big lookup table for all possible search terms.

For Tags, you're right, if the 1Password item data model supported it. If each tag had a unique identifier we could persist that identifier and never worry about revealing your tags. However tags are stored on each item as just a list of strings; no such identifier exists.

In my mind, encrypting those values is the best way to go to-and-from the persisted store. We just need time to get that in place.

Why do they need to be encrypted? Couldn’t they be given some kind of anonymous lookup id that maps to the data after unlocking?

@jkcarter Tags and Search terms both contain user data that we did not want to store as the last navigation event until we could prevent someone from reading them. We are working on a way to encrypt these pieces of data and that will unlock (no pun intended) our ability to (safely) persist them and use them to automatically navigate back to the Tags or Search views.

Using beta 8.8.0 for Windows (80800197), ui.routes.lastUsedRoute never updates when a Tag is selected. Every other navigation route works (All Items, Favorites, Watchtower, Vaults, Archive, Recently Deleted and Item details within those routes), but not Tags.

This worked fine in 1password 7, which I was using before today. The new UI in v8 is pretty and all, but Tags are my most-used navigation feature, so not having them restore after lock / minimize is kind of a deal breaker for me.

I'm not sure if this is still considered a bug, but in my case, 1Password 8.8.0 latest beta as of today, my default collection is always only one of my two accounts. This seems to have regressed yet again. Is there a known issue? Something I should be doing differently?

Thanks namiaro, we'll take a look and be in touch there.

Hey @"jack.platten"
Thanks for the ansewer.

When i change the Collection the value of "ui.routes.lastUsedRoute" changes

from
"{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE1\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",

to
"{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE2\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",

(where VALUE1/VALUE2 is alphanumeric text string)

but when I lock/unlock or close/open 1p again, "ui.routes.lastUsedRoute" resets to VALUE1.

I've just reinstalled 1p, updated to 80500064 (and deleted old %localappdata%\1Password folder), but the problem still exists.

settings.json looks like this:

{
"updates.updateChannel": "NIGHTLY",
"advanced.EnableDebuggingTools": true,
"itemDetails.showWebFormDetails": true,
"updates.autoUpdate": false,
"app.theme": "dark",
"ui.routes.lastUsedRoute": "{\"type\":\"ItemList\",\"content\":{\"unlockedRoute\":{\"collectionUuid\":\"VALUE1\"},\"itemListType\":{\"type\":\"AllItems\"},\"category\":null,\"sortBehavior\":null}}",
"security.autolock.minutes": 60
}
