Stop requring masterpass after every restart.

Hello ag_mike_d

Thanks for the post.

I checked out the link to change your region. It's a non starter for me. I will ask tech support a second time to migrate the accounts to CA from US.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, it requires setting up 1Password ALL OVER again from the .CA site, First save all items for 2 accounts. Then delete the US accounts. Then create two accounts (mine and my wife's) on the .CA site, import the saved items. Not work I'm interested in doing during a trial period.

I will add I thought I'd change my 1Password logon password. A good learning exercise I thought. While the "security" architecture of 1PW is robust, it is bluntly a pain in the butt for a couple who use online banking and multiple "product" sites that require a sign-in with PW. I may be missing the main thrust of 1PW with the 3 elements (App, Web Site, and Browser extensions). Having got the PIN logon working I'm still faced with a User Interface that is sub optimal IMHO. An example follows:

If say I want to login to an online account. If I do this via a browser:
1. Open browser,
2. Logon to 1PW, OK with PIN working.

3. A small window that shows 7 sites
4. Search for site (type in key letters), or scroll down till I find the site.
5. Select Open & Fill which takes me to the site and often requires additional steps as most sites have Account Sign In as an drop down option off the home page. Some are for security/marketing reasons I presume.

If I do this from 1PW app:
1. Open/login to 1PW App.
2. Much more usable interface with 17 sites showing on my Windows screen, and the left panel lets me reduce the items shown to make it more acceptable.
3. I find the site I wish to open with 1one or two mouse clicks.
4. I then hover mouse over the item's website field and select Open & Fill.
5. Default browser opens, or if already open a new Tab in the browser opens, or if Web Browser not open it is opened and I land on the sites home page. Same as noted above.

I'm going to this extreme length for two reasons:
1. To obtain advise / guidance if I'm not using 1PW in the most efficient way,
2. To clarify for me if 1PW will work for my wife and me. Being this pedantic helps clarify my thinking.

The product I'd like to get off, regrettably is more end user friendly. Here's what have to do to get to one of the sites:
1. Open browser,
2. Select PW manager icon and logon, unless it is still active from last time I logged on. It can be for up to 30 days.
3. Open Vault on my Edge Browser I have 49 of my favorite sites showing on full web page.
4. Hover mouse over site and select the "Launch" button.
5. Site opens in another tab in the browser.

What this is telling me is the most effective way to use 1PW is to open the Windows App first, and use this as the vehicle for opening sites. If the browser extension remained a persistent tab in the browser and has more of the features of the app for reducing sites displayed it would be a big improvement. This comment applies to the Windows environment where most of our households Password work occurs.

My next step will be to request 1PW support to move my account to the .CA site.

Thanks for putting up with me.
