How can I set the favourites as default in the new mini?
The suggestions do not work for me. I mostly use the mini like a drop-down menu where all the favourites are listed and I chose the one I want to open.
One should be be able to set that behaviour in the preferences; maybe one can but I am not aware of it.

Agreed. Is there a way to open in "logins" or "favorites" instead of "all items"?

@ChristophRoettger - I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean: if you click Preferences > Mini in the new 7.3 update of 1Password 7 for Mac, you can set it to open to your Favorites:
...in which case, you'll get a list of your Favorites in the left sidebar:

If my 1Password had that Preferences entry, that would be great.
However, I use
1Password 7
Version 7.3 (70300020)
1Password StoreIn my Preferences the entry "Mini" is missing.
What now? Are there different versions of 7.3 around?

Me too. I don't seem to see that preference tab. Also using:

@ChristophRoettger The new Mini preferences option is coming in 1PW 7.3.1. You can access it now if you are ok with running the beta. If not you will need to wait until the official release.

Thank you, OAW!
I do not use betas where my privacy and security is concerned. Already the official releases require a leap of faith ;-)

@ChristophRoettger - sorry for the miscommunication. Yes, that functionality is only available in the beta version of 7.3.1. I can't say when it will be out of beta, but it shouldn't be long.

No problem, I just hope that the new 7.3.1. Preferences > Mini tab will make it into an official release quickly, and that it will indeed come up with preferences, whatever the context.
Let me use this opportunity to make a more general comment aimed at Agilebits; I am sure you know whom to forward this to.
In my opinion Agilebits urgently needs
a) a product manager, balancing the interests of the users, software developers and marketing, who maintains a roadmap with a time table and creates continuity and coherence in the product set,
b) a user experience officer, playing user himself and looking actively for user feedback, reporting back what real life users experience and have to deal with,
c) dedicated creators of written and video documentation and training material.
I have been a 1Password user for well over 10 years and continue to use it, but I would not recommend it to anyone who is not a very experienced macOS and/or iOS user. Once or twice a year I feel so frustrated that I consider trying out one of 1Passwords competitors. I never did until now, but that day may come ...
A Password Manager is a low tech product, with well known use cases, clearly not rocket science. It should not have a steep learning curve and should not get into the users way.
The developers should aim their creativity at dealing with operating systems, browsers, other apps including all their bugs and protect the user from that mess, rather than winging it with the 1Password user interface and trying to get away with minimal documentation.
It is helpful to have a support forum with quick response times, but it would be nicer if you didn't need it (or most of it) in the first place.

Thanks for the feedback, @ChristophRoettger.
