Hi Peter and Ana,
I have the same issue.
Concering the workaround described above:
I don't want to change the password of my work account to the same password as my personal account. This makes both less secure since you can use the same password anywhere to unlock any of them.
(as opposed to having one password to unlock a certain 1password version on a single machine).
The current setup is very annoying.
When you use the browser login, you login into one account. But if I then want to login to my other account, I can't do this in the browser afaik.
I have to open the 1password desktop application, go to accounts and unlock my second account there. (I don't even think you can unlock a second vault in the settings of the browser extension)
Mind that default they only stay open for 10 minutes of inactivity.
This makes the new version very hard to use properly.
If at least there would be a way to easily log into a second account from the browser extension part that pops up when you try to enter a password, this would mitigate most of the need for the old functionality.
