1Password error message on Start up
For the last month or so, I've been getting an error message every time I start my computer. I "report" it. 1Password seems to have done nothing to correct the situation. The application seems to be functioning. The error message is annoying. It has been a source of complaints for years. The failure to fix it makes me concerned about how well the application is being maintained. I am running 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor on a Dell computer Windows 11 25H2 OS Build 26200.7462 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.275.0 1Password is 8.11.23.1
Emergency access - people I trust that may ask to access my account in case of an emergency
Similar to how Proton does it, I would like an option for a 1Password Family member to take over another account in the family if this other account does not respond to this request within N days. Of course, this member of the family must have the other added to this list of approved accounts that can take over his account.
Feature Request: Show Original Contributor of Items in Shared Family Vaults
Summary Please add a built-in way to display who originally created or contributed an item to a shared vault in 1Password Family. Problem In shared family vaults, it is currently not possible to see who an item originally belongs to once it has been shared. This makes it unclear who owns a specific account, even though the item is visible to everyone in the family. As a workaround, we manually add tags with the name of the person who created or contributed the item. This allows sorting and filtering by owner, but it is manual, error-prone, and easy to forget. Proposed Feature Display non-editable metadata such as: “Contributed by: Name” or “Original owner: Name” This information should remain visible in the item details after sharing or moving an item into a shared family vault. Benefit This makes it easy to understand who an account actually belongs to, even when it is shared for convenience. It improves clarity in family vaults, avoids confusion, and removes the need for manual tagging. Reference Apple Passwords already shows this information for shared items using labels like “Contributed by: Name”, which provides clear ownership at a glance.
Login icons not showing after an import
Hi, I have an existing vault where my icons for all my login items show, everything is fine etc. However I've created a new vault and have imported from bitwarden a large amount of entries. Even though I have 'Show app and website icons' selected, none of the icons for the imported sites show (just the default first and second letter. If I then go into one of these imports and remove the part of the website URL and add back, the icon then appears. So its as if its not triggering to look these up on import. I've tried production and nightly build but both the same result. Anyway to force an icon lookup for a vault, or to fix the import issue? Keen to move some family members over to a subscription plan, but obviously the nice to look at bit will become the most important part!
Issues with unlocking, filling and saving passwords
I started using 1Password about 15 years ago when it was exclusively an OS X app. I remember 1Password being very reliable (I had very few, if any, issues with it), which is why I kept using it over the years and ultimately implemented 1Password for Business it when I became an IT administrator. However, ever since 1Password transitioned into a subscription-based model (I think this also coincided with them moving away from native apps and to cross-platform Electron development), 1Password has been an unreliable mess. I kept expecting AgileBits to iron out the issues, that things would eventually get better, but they just haven't. It's been about 3 years now and I still constantly have problems with basic functionality. I have 1Password installed on 35 Windows 11 machines at work which I manage (many of which are less than a year old), I have it installed on iOS and Android devices (both personally and work), and I have it installed on my personal MacOS devices. Recently, I got a brand new M3 MacBook Pro, which I thought for sure would be the ideal scenario for 1Password since I kept it on a clean install (no Time Machine Migration) and it's even been unreliable on there. It was honestly flabbergasting and felt like the last straw for me. Here is a list of the kinds of things I'm talking about which happen constantly: 1Password simply doesn't appear on the password fields to autofill until I refresh the page again or sometimes have to restart the browser. 1Password is unlocked but it still appears to be locked when it appears next to fields in the current webpage until I restart the browser. 1Password unlocks in one place but not the other. I use the password generation button to update a password for an existing login only to have 1Password fail to offer to update the login info as I intended. I generate a password for a new login and 1Password fails to offer to save the new login information, forcing me to fish out the generated password in the most unintuitive way imaginable because it's buried under 3 different menus and turning that into a new login manually. These kinds of things (among others) happen constantly both to me and my users and I'm honestly starting to get to my wits end here. Can anybody help me understand why these things are happening, why 1Password hasn't fixed this, and whether this will eventually get back to the kind of reliability that I grew to expect with the native Mac OS app I started using so many years ago? Is Electron just so inherently bad that 1Password will simply never get to the point that it used to be? Do I just need to switch to another password manager?
Plans to improve the offline access experience for SSO
Hi 1Password Team, I'm curious if you have plans to improve the the offline access options for organizations using SSO. In particular, this document https://support.1password.com/sso-security/#different-risk-considerations makes it clear that "For team members who unlock 1Password with their identity provider without biometrics, there is no general support for offline access". This is a caveat that concerns me as I consider enabling SSO. Are there any plans to support other offline unlock methods (e.g. a PIN) for devices that don't support biometrics?
Nested folders in department vaults
The issue I am having is that we save a very large number of credentails and details in 1password, and currently, I am creating vaults with names of the department and a subsection name as part of the vault name As an example for illustration only: for HR, I have a vault called HR-References, another vault called HR-AnnualLeave, and another called HR-Attendance But this means we end up with a massively long list of vaults. It would be much much better if we could have nested vaults, or even folder to contains to store all the different sets of data in an organised manner under the one parent vault. so ideally we would have a vault called HR, and then within that vault, either subvaults, or folders/containers that could contain specific items by topic Hope this makes sense. Thanks
