What happened to the mini interface in 1P8?
I'm not sure if this has been brought up already but why was the mini interface eliminated in 1P8? Now when you click the 1P icon in the menu bar, you only have the option for a menu, a search window or the main app interface, none of which are particularly useful and make the existence of the menu bar icon pretty useless.
I see that the search window can eventually lead you to something that vaguely resembles the mini interface but it requires several extra steps to get there.
Overall, I'm happy with the cleaner appearance of 1P8 but the above is just one of several instances of removed functionality, which I just don't get.

It's so interesting seeing all the posts about 1P 8. It really looks to me - I am not the only one that is really unhappy in different topics with that new version. I am still waiting that the quick search will work well again.
I always searched my entrys by the quick search. When I now press SHIFT - COMMAND - SPACE the search will only work for the item main name.
It's not possible (as I know) to do a quick and easy search on all items searching text, tags, ... .
That works from the search function within 1Password main window - but why not from the quick search?I am still hoping to see a solution for a well done quick search in the near future - pleeeaaase 🙏
I’m doing my due diligence on v.8 as I took a pass on v.7 and continue to be delighted with v.6 sync’s via iCloud. The 1P menu bar functionality is a core interface. I haven’t read anything here that suggests whatever it is 1P has done is a less elegant, more complicated and less complete approach. I have until Rosetta2 is no longer supported by Apple. Figure 4 years to move from v.6:) v.8 still looks very optional.

@Oxon et al.
Have you tried using Quick Access and from there after selecting the appropriate item, you can use the shortcut of
Command+Oto pin a window? Perhaps that will help while needing to pin an item. mixture Yeah, 1P8 looks better than 1P7 but functionally there’s so many steps backwards that I just can’t wrap my head around.
+1 on the Mini menubar icon. I use it constantly in 1Password 7.
It breaks my heart how 1Password developers failed with the version 8. So disappointed after supporting this team for over a decade. :( Previous versions always built up on the earlier, but 8 took off great, basic features (Mini, ability to disable autosubmit, etc...)
I'm still not ready to look for other password managers, I will give the team a couple of months to fix things before jumping ship.
+1 on all this.
