Why so many unnecessary changes in 1password 8?

Hi unhappychappy,

Thanks for surfacing these and sharing your updates. You're spot on that collections are the best way to "scope" what you see in the 1Password apps, such as tags and categories. While placing each vault in its own collection is one solution, I'd also encourage you to explore if it's applicable for you to group any of your vaults together. For example, I have a couple shared vaults with family members and when I want to view that data separate from my own, I switch to a collection that contains all those shared vaults.

You're also correct about "open in a new window" being the successor to the "pin to screen" function. There are a couple other ways to accomplish this:

• Right-click the item in the item list and select "Open item in new window"
• Use the command + O keyboard shortcut
• Click the 3 dots in the corner of the item details:

That said, I can see the benefit in bringing more customization to what action is taken when double clicking an item. I'll share this with our Product team for their consideration.

It sounds like you'd also like to see category selection persist when switching between vaults and/or collections so you can stick with Login items most of the time. I'd be interested in learning more about your use case here. If you use 1Password as a launcher for websites, I'd encourage you to try Quick Access if you haven't already: Get to know Quick Access

And last but not least, generating passwords! Within browsers, we recommend using the 1Password browser extensions as they'll offer inline password suggestions. You can also click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar to access a standalone generator:

Outside of browsers, you can find a similar password generator within the desktop app when creating a new item. Do you find yourself needing to generate passwords outside of these scenarios?

Let me know if you give these a try or have any questions and thanks for your insight. Thank you as well, Netpog, always great to see blog posts being read and circulated. 😊
