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.
Disable Private or default to a Shared
We're a family and are long time users of 1Password. Ever since 1Password introduced the "Private vault", its caused more trouble, as every time a new Chrome profile gets created, or a new browser Extension gets installed the default vault resets back to "Private vault". These days, its common to get a new device (new Ipad, or new computer) and along with it a new browser, and we're always finding we have to reset our preferences for the default Vault to save new logins into, it gets reset back to "private vault" by default on any new installation. This leads to confusion and lost passwords, and duplicate accounts, because we expect the accounts to be synced. And we end up finding it in someones Private vault later on by accident. It's been an ongoing frustration, and I think the issue lies in how we have to choose the default Vault in settings for every extension, instead of having a global 1Password setting to choose the default vault account-wide. I'd love a solution here, as it's become a bigger and bigger issue and keeps coming up.New iPad - Account Data already known
Hi, today I configured a new iPad of my wife. I downloaded the 1Password App from the Appstore and selected Login. Than the 1PW App already suggested me the Login of my wife for our Family Account and already had the Secret Key filled in. On my wifes iPhone the iCloud sync of the Keychain is not activated. Can someone please explain how the App on the new iPad were able to get the data? Maybe Keychain sync was temporary activated in the past on the iPhone of my wife - not sure. But I don't want those data in the Cloud, so that those data needs to be added manually on new devices. Regards Finke
Default for Sign In Automatically after Autofill
I may not be a "typical" user, as I am continually looking at new browsers and computer for my personal and professional life. I use 1Password extensively in my personal and professional life. I have both personal and business accounts. As a result, I am installing the 1Password extension many times, not necessarily daily, or even weekly, but often enough where I feel this warrants at least a discussion. I am not a fan of the "sign in automatically after autofill" feature. While I can see it as a "nice" feature for some, for me it creates more confusion in the long run than whatever it is trying to "solve". Especially in this day and age of MFA, 2FA, etc. And for our older, more "mature" audience members, the quick actions after autofilling can lead to confusion. Anyway, I digress. I really dislike that I have to turn this "feature" OFF with every install. Why not have this default to OFF and make a suggestion to turn it ON if wanted? "Hey, did you know that 1Password can auto-submit your login? Go to settings and enable this.... " etc etc etc. While I do see that having many features enabled by default is a good thing, I feel that some features should be left up to the user to enable and not forced upon us. Could you consider making this an "optional" or "opt-in" feature and not turned on by default? Maybe I'm in the minority, and that's ok. It's just a suggestion. Thank you for your time!Premature completion
I use a Microsoft 365 account, both personally and for work. I am having a terrible time with the authentication flow because 1Password automatically inputs the code for me in the interstitial screen (a benefit, to be sure), but its haste doesn't check, or allow me to check, the box that says "Don't ask again for 30 days". Checking this box is the only way to get the Microsoft KMSI to work when I have multiple profile browser windows open. Is there a way to have 1Password check this box for me by default (i.e., a boolean field that knows the ID or class of the checkbox)?
