Medical and RX ID Cards
It would be real nice if 1Password could store Medical and Prescription ID Card details. I did a search and it was recommended to use the Medical record, but that is more for hospital and medication records. It doesn't align with anything for your ID cards. Almost like it would be better to do a regular note record instead. I've seen some other records that most people (for family) will never use (Database). But most everyone has a medical ID and prescription card. How to recommend/suggest a new record type?
Too much power in the hands of a family manager
Back in 2020/2021, a lot of us—myself included—poured time, energy, and probably a few cups of coffee into voicing concerns on the 1Password Community platform. One particularly lively thread, "Too much power in the hands of a family manager," seems to have mysteriously vanished during the migration to the new community. Poof! Problem solved. Gotta admire the efficiency 😄 Maybe those 1Password users on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1m4gm7g/it_is_insane_that_you_can_lose_your_1password/) wouldn’t have wasted their time and energy if they had seen the thread. Don't get me wrong — I'm a happy 1Password user, and in my opinion, it's (still) the most polished password manager out there. It offers many great features that most others lack, like SSH key management, CLI integration, and more. I also understand that the Family account is essentially a rebranded Business account, so changing the underlying architecture is likely a complex task — and perhaps not even worth the effort if revenue from family accounts is relatively small compared to business clients. That said, I’d simply prefer honesty and transparency over silencing valid, critical voices.
Deleted vaults & organizer permissions
I opened 1Password just now and got a notification that the global shared vault in my family account was deleted. This was either due to a family member's mistake or a bug. While I figure out which, I have a couple thoughts to share: I wish that the account recovery permission were separate from vault management. I've designated a few people as family organizers so they can help with account recovery if needed. But I'd rather they not have the ability to delete vaults to guard against accidents. It's too bad there's no way to recover deleted vaults like there is with deleted items. Accidental vault deletion is catastrophic data loss. (Yes I know there's a stern warning confirmation before deleting a vault. But, assuming this case was due to a mistake, it wasn't enough to prevent it from happening.)
