1Password Community - feedback.

Hello.

Each time I get to new 1Password Community I feel like I was landed deep in the woods, having no idea where to go and how to get to the concrete places I am looking for.

It reminds me of some kind of infinite journal where hundreds of people can post. 

I understand that tags are there to filter and find whats needed. However, as someone who mostly was hanging out around "macOS" / "beta releases" sections monitoring changes and providing feedback about issues I come across -  I miss that very quick overview of whats been going on in the areas of most interest to me and check if some forum members already brought up the desired discussion.

In 5 to 10 minutes before I could check for info, possible bugs and fixes at a glance. Now I pretty much have no idea whats going on.

Moreover, I just feel discouraged to visit new 1Password Community, since I get a feeling of a "an endless media consumption deep dive", like as if I am about to go to a social media site. And that brings a feeling of wasted time or improper use of time.

Thus, I pretty much come here to quickly post about the issues or suggestions and leave as quick as possible :-D

 As long as things are keep getting fixed and improved I am fine with new "forum" for sure. But still hoping that it will one day improve in the mentioned areas.

Thank you for listening, your feedback on this and have a great week everyone!

  • Hey Ivan_K đź‘‹

    Really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this — it’s incredibly valuable feedback, and I can tell you’ve put real thought into it.

    I totally hear what you’re saying about feeling like you’ve landed “deep in the woods” when visiting the new Community. That sense of orientation — knowing exactly where to go for the stuff that matters to you — is something we’re still working to recapture post-migration.

    The analogy of an “infinite journal” or a “media consumption deep dive” is a powerful one, but I can clearly see where you're coming from. We’re trying to balance flexibility and discoverability, but that can come at the cost of that efficient, purposeful vibe the old Community had for some users. Your point about wanting to drop in, check on macOS beta updates, and quickly see what’s new or been reported — that’s exactly the kind of behavior we want to continue supporting. And it’s clear we still have work to do there.

    Just so you know, we are actively exploring ways to improve that experience. That includes ideas like better tag-driven content filtering, more intuitive paths to the “concrete places” you mentioned, and even things like changing where these conversations live and how you find them. None of it’s magic-wand fast, but it’s absolutely on our radar, and your post helps us prioritize where to focus next.

    In the meantime, I hope you’ll keep sharing your thoughts and experiences — even if it’s a quick stop-in-and-post moment. The fact that you care enough to keep showing up, even when it feels clunky, means a lot.

    Thanks again for taking the time. Have a great weekend! đź’™

      Thank you for the feedback, Blake!

      Glad that 1password community will be improving.

      And hey, if you guys were able to bring 1Password v8 from 0 to being completely awesome -  I am sure you will be able to give the forum treatment that it deserves :-)

      Have a nice weekend!
