Unable to launch the 1Password app
Summary: The 1Password application on Windows seems to be very unstable in the past few months. Background: I have been a Personal 1Password user for over a decade, and championed our company's move to 1Password for Business a couple years ago. Historically it has been a bulletproof solution, and it still seems to be on my mobile device. On my Windows desktop, however, I started to have problems a few months ago (maybe around the March timeframe) where the browser extension would stop talking to the core application. Reinstalling the application fixed it, but it kept reoccurring. Some research suggested that the issue was that I was installing it from Chocolatey, and when it would self-update, this created a conflict, so I uninstalled the version installed by Chocolatey and just used the desktop installer. That was about a month ago and things seemed better, until today. Most recent issue: 1Password was working normally until mid-day when I unlocked my desktop, went to unlock the 1Password extension, and instead of calling the 1Password app which would call Windows Hello, I was greeted with the extension unlock screen. When I went to launch the desktop app directly, nothing happened. When I went to launch the desktop app from PowerShell I got the error message: [0725/155557.381:ERROR:base\i18n\icu_util.cc:224] Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received. Rebooting did not fix the issue. Resolution: I was able to fix the problem by removing the 1Password app and reinstalling. Feedback: The purpose of this post is twofold: first, to let anyone else who encounters this error know what the resolution is, particularly since the only post I found on the matter (Can't Open Desktop App after "Rendering Error" | 1Password Community) did not include a resolution, and second, to provide feedback to the 1Password team that the stability of the application is an issue. I feel that 1Password used to be a first-rate product, but I fear that the dev team's attention has been diverted to other products in the past couple years and the quality of your core product has suffered.
Improved date formatting in the 1Password desktop app
Hello 1Password Community! With the next update to the 1Password desktop app (version 8.10.80), we have improved how date formats are handled when viewing and editing an item. Leading up to this update, there has been some inconsistency with how the desktop application has handled date formats when viewing and editing items. In some cases, date formats were being determined by the display language set in 1Password whereas in other cases, date formats were being determined by the language set against the device. This has led to some users seeing different date formats within the desktop app causing confusion. With this update, we've made things consistent by ensuring that dates saved against items always appear in a format determined by the locale set against your device (both when viewing and editing items) and never by the display language set in 1Password. This way, the desktop application can support more date formats than just the ones tied to the display languages that we support. Along with the recent improvements that we made to the date picker, we are hoping that you enjoy a much improved experience with dates in the 1Password desktop application!

2FA code drift
Hi, i started using 2FA for my main 1Password account a while ago on a Windows machine. After a while a reinstalled a new Windows version on that machine and since then the 2FA codes are not working anymore. I suspect that maybe i was (unknowingly) i had some minutes of drift on the old machine and thus the codes are always off now with the correct time. How can i recover this account? I already tried coding some scripts to try out different drifts of the 2FA codes but testing those obviously is very slow because of failed login limits. Best BPreview Password Truncates
When I update a password, the preview feature truncates long passwords on my iPhone 15 pro. This is a problem when there is a specific set of symbols required. The only way to verify compliance is to save the password for use and then verify it’s ok since once saved, the entire password is visible. I need to refresh/save new passwords until I get a good one. Not only is this a waste of time, but it makes the password history log incorrect. The preview should use the same format technique as the saved password so I don’t have to save a password that can’t be used.
HELP! Settings, categories etc oh my!
So, when I imported my passwords to 1pw from roboform, it created a whole bunch of columns and asked me to label them. Some of those columns I had no idea how to label so it seems some direction on that should have been offered. Is there some FAQ on that? (And for that matter is there some FAQ on what all the settings mean? And if there is an explanation of those settings that came up when I imported the .csv, is there a "best way" to name those settings? Now, on my Windows 10 (not sure about android yet) my ALL ITEMS are sorted by NAME, but it seems they are sorted by NAME OF the app etc, so instead of naming a certain site by the name of that site, (1password) for example, it names it "app.kjlkjljd.jljl" so APP is first in my list and looking at the list I have no idea what it is until I click on it to see the https://NAME... This seems very wrong, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with naming those columns as I was required to do - without any direction or help - when I imported them. Specifically that is what I came here for, but in general is there a youtube or other video or - preferably - a HOW TO as to how to set up all that stuff. I'd like to be able to sort my pw's by the NAME of the WEBSITE, for example apple.com would be filed under A for Apple, and Zebra.com would be filed under Z for Zebra instead of account.WEBSITE or app.WEBSITE being filed first in my alphabetical list. Can I get some help on these issues please? Thanks.
1Password not using correct login fields
I Really like the 1 password product, but holy cow is it a pain sometimes with regards to using the correct login fields. It doesn't even use the correct field when in it's own web pages! I could not get into this community forum. I tried resetting my password which by the way there is no direct clearly defined button for. When asking for my email, (not my username which I think should be the case) 1Password would not fill in an email address, only a username, which even though I have been in the forums previously, and have a username associated with the page, it offered the incorrect usernames only. Seriously? Then it took almost 45 minutes for the email to be generated. Meanwhile I'm getting very irritated. This is why most of my family won't bother to use the product, even though I'm paying for it. Half of them use a piece of paper with P/w's written on them and the others are still using google thinking they are using 1pass...... AAAAARRRGGGHH. The other issue is that 1password probably gets the username wrong half the time, or it just will not recognize the fields being requested. I've tried updating the account information, the web pages, etc, to no avail. Am I the only one with these problems??
