Avoiding Personal-Business Use Mixups
I currently have a 1Password family account, with multiple vaults, including one for the nonprofit I lead. Now I'd like my Board of Directors to use 1Password as well. However, I'm concerned about mixups and wonder if I'm better off with a different arrangement (e.g. a different password manager for business use). My question is, how does one actually shift between personal 1Password use to business use and back again on the same device(s)? Is it like opening different vaults? Or will I need to log in and out of each separate account? Or what? Thanks!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
Change the width of the suggestion popup in a browser
Hi there, Is there a way to change the width of the suggestion popup in a browser when you want to login? We have a lot of passwords for all the sites we've build, and for maintainability we like to name each entry with something like [customername] - [optional websitename] - [logintype]. So it's pretty common to have an item named something like "MyCompany - Webshop - Editor" or "MyCompany - Webshop - Testuser". The problem we're facing is the popup with the login suggestions in the browser. Due to its limited width, we only see "My Company - Webshop...". And have no clue (other than maybe the e-mailaddress) which account is which. Is there a way to increase the width? To force it so show the full name?Thumbnails don't load in Windows "Open" dialog when choosing an icon
Hi team, writing in about an issue we've noticed at work that's driving us nuts. So far, we haven't found any solution and seem to have narrowed it down to 1Password; the only application that seems to have this problem. Even the 1Password web app (when using Edge) doesn't have this problem--it's just the local Windows app. 1Password for Windows 8.11.16 (81116035) When we're selecting an icon for a vault item, the window that it opens doesn't load thumbnails correctly. However, if you browse to the same location using File Explorer, or via any other application's file picker window, the thumbnails load without issue. Again, this issue seems to be limited to 1Password; we haven't been able to reproduce it with file pickers from any other applications. To reproduce: Select an item in the vault. Click "Edit" Click on the icon dropdown > Choose new icon Result: The file picker window appears but the thumbnails in that window never load. Here's an example with a folder of random pictures: Expectation: The thumbnails in the file picker render correctly, and the contents should look a bit like this (so many nice thumbnails!) (this is the file picker from a different program, called Unigram, but Edge's Open dialog looks the same):
Feature Request: Rename Employee Vault in 1Password Business
Hello 1Password Team, I’m writing on behalf of our organization, which uses 1Password Business. We find the default “Employee” vault name misleading for individual use, as many mistakenly assume it contains passwords for all employees. This confusion is even greater in the German translation where it appears as “Angestellte” making it unclear that this vault is for personal credentials. It would be far more intuitive if this built‑in vault could either be renamed freely or, at minimum, default to “Personal” as it does in Family and Individual plans. Proposed Improvement Clearer Naming: Changing “Employee” to “Personal” (or allowing custom names) eliminates ambiguity, especially in non‑English locales. Consistency: All other vaults in Business plans can be renamed; extending this to the default vault aligns with current functionality. Improved Usability: Allowing organizations to set a meaningful name (e.g., “Personal,” “Private,” “My Vault”) streamlines onboarding and vault management.

1 to 1 Sharing
I often have one-off items to share with people at the company that don't necessitate creating a whole vault for. For example, we use an online form design tool that I want the HR person to have access to, but it's an item that lives in the IT vault. I'm not sharing the entire IT vault, but I also don't want to share the item via a sharing link since that creates a new, unsynchronized item. If I update the password or add a note, I have to remember who I've shared the item with and make sure to send them the updated version. It would be helpful if there was a way to share a single item with another person or group, regardless of which vault it lives in. There could be a specialty vault called "Shared With Me" for anything shared like this. There could also be a category or tag for "Items I've Shared". Think OneDrive/SharePoint file sharing. There are company-wide file buckets, and individual employee file buckets. I can easily share a single, editable file out of either of those places with a person or group.
