Set default Collection

namiaro That's hugely helpful and plenty of information to see if I can track down that bug.

The filtering of tags to only the active Collection is definitely a feature. The bug would be if you were seeing tags from outside the active collection.

As for your questions:

1. If I select "Everyday" Collection, I'm not seeing any tags from "Hide me" Collection. It's cool and I really hope it's a feature and not a bug :)

2. If I'm in and select "Everyday" Collection and then lock or quit the app (checked both), after unlocking or restarting the app I'm returned back to "All items" under MAIN account. I've tried selecting different vaults within "Everyday" Collection, but I'm always back to "All items" under main account.

If I'm under main account (so that I'm seeing all of the vaults) and select one of the vaults, after locking/unlocking or restarting the app, I'm returned back to the last vault I've selected.

Thanks namiaro I think your two Collection approach is really good. I have a couple of clarifying questions for you, just to make sure the app is behaving the way I think it should.

First let's give some names to your two Collections so that we're both talking about the same things. Let's call the Collection of the vaults you want to see your "Everyday" Collection, and the Collection of vaults you want to hide the "Hide Me" Collection.

1. If you've selected your "Everyday" Collection, are you seeing tags from items that are only in your "Hide Me" Collection? If so I need to know about that because that's a bug I want to fix.

2. If you're in you've selected the "Everyday" Collection and you lock or quit the app, you should be returned back to the "Everyday" Collection once you've unlocked. If that's not happening, please let me know because again, that's a bug I want to fix.

Thank you for the reply. I've started experimenting with 1P8 and one of the features I miss the most from 1P7 is the ability to hide selected vaults from the main "view". As someone had pointed out in the other topic, Collections could be a great way to achieve that.

In my case I've created two collections - 1st with vaults I want to be seen all of the time and the 2nd one with vaults I want to remain hidden all of the time.

The present solution which is restoring the last-used (in-app) vault has three major flaws for me - 1. it shows tags from all of the vaults, not just from the selected one which makes the main window more cluttered than it should be, 2. I'm not able to select two vaults at a time, 3. I'm forced to manually select one of the Collections everytime I open 1P8.

Collections on the other hand allow me to do all of the things I mentioned above and more and I'd love to be able to select one of the Collections as a default view.

Hi namiaro,

That's such a great question and I'm so glad you're finding Collections useful enough that you'd want to jump there by default; We think it's such a powerful feature with so much potential. For 1Password 8 we've been focusing restoring 1Password to where it was when you closed or locked it. Our aim is to get you right back to where you were on the basis that most often, you'll want to be there again.

If this misses the mark for you, I'd love some feedback about the ways in which you'd find a default-restore more helpful than restoring the last-used (in-app) location.

Let me know so I can provide that feedback to our design and product teams.

Thanks for making 1Password 8 better for everyone!
