Question

Support vs. Community

Many posts here are folks looking for or needing 1Password Support, or following up to an insufficiently prompt email response from Support, where there is little or nothing the Community can do to help or learn. Staff usually quickly respond to get the poster engaged with Support and close the thread to prevent crossing the streams, which is of course the right thing to do...

except when the poster describes a problem or behaviour which others might encounter. In this case folks searching for the same or similar experience might find [Commentary of the efficacy of the search function omitted] the post, but no solution or useful commentary.
For cases such as these, re-opening the thread and encouraging the poster to follow up with their results after receiving support would share the useful results, save folks from disappointment, providing solutions, and no doubt save 1Password billions in support costs. The timing and co-ordination is left as an exercise for staff.

Hi @AJCxZ0,

Thanks for bringing this up and I see the value in what you're suggesting. The Community team will discuss this to see if there are process adjustments we can make to help others who stumble onto a thread where someone else has already had the same issue as them.

If others have thoughts on this, too, we welcome anyone who wants to add on their two cents!
