UX Improvements - Copy for RDP, show passwords & the new search
Little (but annoying) Bug report:
It is not possible to copy something from 1PW 8 into an RDP window.
UX improvement suggestions:
1. The universal search is cool, but it is missing two important features that make it useless for large environments with many passwords:
- Search results must be prioritised, i.e. vaults, for example, should always be displayed as the first result, not in the middle of the list.
- But even more important: You have to be able to filter by vault so that only results from this vault are displayed. We have many vaults with many entries that always have similar titles. Without being able to search in individual vaults, we unfortunately no longer find anything at all with the new search (for some search terms over 200 results).
- Create a "Show" button as available in the web version. There is so much space available, displaying more buttons would be a significant UX improvement (one less click each time). You need the show button for example for Windows logins on a server where copy paste is not possible.

Hey all,
RDP/Clipboard
Thanks so much for writing in with this feedback. Could you confirm if your RDP client is running as an elevated window? Additionally, could you confirm if copying plain text from other sources on your system (outside of the RDP) can be successfully pasted into the RDP? To confirm, is this happening both with drag-and-drop as well as using the
copybutton to copy the username/password to clipboard?@upwave:
Search
Thanks as well for this feedback! I can definitely see things from your viewpoint here, particularly narrowing search down to the vault contents (if you're viewing a particular vault), as well as the way we currently organize entries. Currently, we show vaults, and then we nest any entries in that vault that match the search term. I have reached out to the team to start a discussion on how this can be better handled.

I can see how popping that Reveal button out onto the field itself would be handy! I'll pass this along to the Development team to see if this feature can be brought to the 1Password 8 early access. :smile:
ref: /dev/projects/customer-feature-requests/#797Ah - I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I was going to post something, but I hadn't worked out if there was any definite way to trigger it, so I could post something helpful. I would agree I've noticed it works sometimes and not others. Not just restricted to RDP either.
I have definitely noticed this issue when popping a 1Password entry out into a new separate window, then copying the password from that window into a newly created entry in the main 1Password window. (I'm sorting through old imported entries and setting them up properly).
It doesn't happen all the time though - and it feels better since the recent update (81.2-2.BETA) - but I wouldn't like to say it's fixed, I just think I've noticed it less. That might be more to do with the work I've been doing though.
Also it is not working for virtual machines from Vmware.
Oh I'm having this issue with RDP as well, it's very weird, some times it works and some times it just doesn't. Ctrl + I and drag and drop doesn't work on RDP and when you copy using the copy buttons in the UI, some times it says is was copied but when you paste it, it's as if you didn't copy at all.
I'm experiencing the same issue with RDP, and it's extremely annoying because it works about 10% of the time, so I always end up trying it, but it almost never works.
To compare, in 1P7 on Windows, RDP pasting works 100% of the time, so it has to be something new with how the value is being copied in 1P8.
