Change default vault?

mattsteinruck

On on family setup, our passwords are saving to Private vaults by default, which is pointless if we're actually trying to create a shared environment. We're constantly needing to go back and change Privates to Shared.

Can we make them save to Shared by default?

Hi @mattsteinruck!

Yes, you can choose the vault for saving under 1Password Preferences > Vaults tab > Vault for Saving dropdown menu :+1:

Right on ...
But...
Always open to: Shared
Vault for saving: Shared

Both are set to that, but the default passwords are consistently saved as Private

Hi @mattsteinruck:

If you're using 1Password in the browser, there is a separate setting for the default vault for saving new items in the extension settings. To manage 1Password in the browser settings, open the 1Password pop-up by clicking the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar, then click the settings icon > Settings. There, you can adjust the setting Save new items in to your Shared vault, rather than your Private vault.

Thanks - I went into the Settings for the Chrome plugin, but did not see anything in there related to setting the default vault.
Further suggestions?

@mattsteinruck:

I would suggest you check the extension settings once again, since the setting Jack recommended (Save new items in) sounds like the one you want:

Can you post a screenshot of what you see in the settings of your 1Password browser extension, so we can see why this option is missing for you?

mattsteinruck

Sure, here's the General section of my browser extension. It's 2.1.2, and shows as Up to Date. The option you show, "Save new items in" doesn't appear in any other section of the settings.

Hi @mattsteinruck:

Do you currently have any pending updates for Chrome? I just checked internally and one of my colleagues was not able to see the Save new items in setting until they resolved the pending update for Chrome.

Thank you - no, Chrome shows as Up to Date.

Hey @mattsteinruck ,

Can you please go into the extension's settings page again, turn off the "Integrate with 1Password app" option, then check if you see the "Save new items in..." option there? If you can, change the default vault to your shared vault, then turn the integration feature back on.

mattsteinruck

When I switch OFF the Integrate toggle, no other options appear showing "Saved new items In..."

Are you saying that the option might appear in the list of options in the extension settings by toggling that app integration switch?

Hey @mattsteinruck ,
Thanks for the followup.

The option to choose the default vault for saving should appear regardless of the integration toggle, but it was worth a shot.
Can you please email us the following to support+x@1password.com:

• Screenshots of your 1Password extension's settings page (take screenshots of the entire page and all settings in it).
• The extension's log: https://support.1password.com/cs/extension-console-log/
• A diagnostics report from your computer: https://support.1password.com/diagnostics/

In the email, provide a short description of the issue and put a link to this discussion here so we can connect the dots :)
Thank you.
