Stop requring masterpass after every restart.

Hi @digitalatlas,

Thanks for your reply and kind words about 1Password Customer support!

I'm happy to hear things worked out with Windows Hello on this device, though it sounded like quite the ordeal! I'm sorry you went through that. We certainly appreciate you giving 1Password a chance. There is always an adjustment period to using a new password manager and I'm glad you're persevering. 😊

Non-persistent login. I think Windows Hello can address this reasonably enough, putting in a shorter PIN hopefully is acceptable to my family. But I have 3 other PCs all using MBR and no Secure Boot...reinstalling Windows if the GPT conversion doesn't work will be a pain...but I guess it'll prepare me for Windows 11 (whole other discussion, holding off on upgrading).

There's a fine line between security and convenience. In this case, Windows Hello is the best workaround when it comes to more easily unlocking 1Password after system restarts.

When autofill doesn't work for some reason, LP allowed you to right click, then manually copy username/password. I don't see a similar fallback feature in 1P, unless you include opening up the extension/app, searching for the password, then copying the password. It's not too onerous, but not as convenient as being right in the context menu. Seems to me like this can be added?

In situations where you're unable to fill a field such as in an Windows app, you click to copy, or drag and drop the username/password/OTP fields from the extension or app. In addition, from the app you can right-click one of those fields and use the Type in window feature to add that content to the focused field.

Bigger issue is that only one person in the family can be in the app at at a time on a shared computer.

As mentioned, this is not possible, but using a separate Windows profile when it comes to the app, and alternate profiles in the browser, are the best bet here.

I am trying to get behind the tagging/vaults organization structure in 1P, compared to a more old-fashioned folder structure in LP.

We appreciate the feedback about Tags. I can understand getting used to a new workflow, but as mentioned, this is similar to folders and I hope your able to get this to usable working state while trialing 1Password: Organize with favorites and tags

The secret key is an interesting touch, though I think having different strong passwords for each site, 2FA and notifications from critical accounts (banks, CC, email), and maybe even double blinding some passwords, is probably sufficient even without the secret key. It does force one to be more judicious about whether to log into one's vault from too many computers. I guess that itself is protective, but I'm also worried about the possibility of getting caught without my phone and then I've lost access to my vault...

The Secret Key, along with the account password, is an important of what keeps your data safely encrypted within 1Password. If you'd like to learn more, you can refer to this article, About your Secret Key. For a deeper dive, here's link to our 1Password Security Design White Paper.
