Two suggestions for making the menu bar item and Quick Access more useful

In general I love 1Password 8, but I am missing 1Password Mini. I find myself clicking on the menu bar item multiple times a day, expecting to get 1Password Mini.

Two suggestions for getting a little closer to the convenience of the old system while keeping what's new and better:

  • Have the menu bar item open Quick Access, with buttons within Quick Access for Open 1Password, Lock, and Quit.

  • Add Edit to the More Actions section in Quick Access, which would open the item in 1Password already in edit mode.


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 1.6.5

    Thanks for the kind words and great ideas! I would use the edit action pretty regularly myself.

    I'll have these feature requests filed internally for discussion and prioritization.

    Above I meant specifically what's new and better about Quick Access, which is that it provides systemwide autofill.

    I don't doubt that many users have had issues and there are things I miss about 1P 7 (granular search is one), but my experience with 1Password 8 has been generally positive. As a 1P user since 2015, I remember that the basic function of reliably suggesting and capturing new passwords in browsers used to be much less reliable. 1P 8 feels to me like a culmination of a change that started with the "new" browser extensions a couple of years ago in which that process has gotten more and more solid.

    I would be interested in what you think is "new and better" about 1Password 8, because so much has been broken that I have been forced to revert to 1P7 to maintain productivity, and maintain my sanity as well.
