1Password 8 for Mac downgrades & needed improvements

In 1Password 8 for Mac, I can no longer click on a login icon and paste the icon. I have to save a file so I can choose it. That requires many more steps than copy and paste. I did this ALL the time in version 7, so this is a major downgrade. Please put that feature back in!

When creating a memorable password, there's no option to have it add a number. I think in version 7 I'd type in the number manually, but now I can't edit the password until after it's made. So please include the ability to edit the password as it's being made (which we should be able to do), and/or at least add an option to add a number (which many passwords require). This seems like such an simple oversight I'd amazed it has never been fixed.

Not being able to resize the 1Password browser pop-up is annoying. I have a large screen and not being able to make the pop-up bigger so I can see all the info (such as long titles in the left column (which should be resizable) seems like a waste of available screen space.

I'm using Safari as my browser.


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.33
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    Additionally, I just discovered you can't rearrange websites in the list of a login? That's important and could be done easily in version 7. More and more I'm not seeing what's better about version 8 and I'm only hitting limitations.

    Even the iPhone app can rearrange websites in a login, but not the Mac app anymore. :(

    Sneak preview: v8 on iOS can’t move fields/sections either.

    There’s a post from Dave on this forum where he admits he was wrong in trying to get rid of this and they will implement it in the future.

    @danrodney Excellent points. The inability to resize the popup is really annoying.
    I am really surprised that so much of the functionality from V7 is missing from V8.
    Is this a shortcoming of the development in Electron?

    I'm also going to downgrade after 1 day. I had to set up a replacement MacBook that my company sent me. A Google search hit 1P version 8 and as the page didn't say anything about it being beta, I installed it and upgraded my personal Macs. Big mistake. I only used it briefly enough to know it felt like a step backward and the ability to Command-nn between vaults seems to have been removed. I toggle between multiple vaults for my job plus a personal vault, so this is a major painpoint for me. I also don't like the way search results are presented. I have multiple login (and other) records with similar names. Like demohub01c and demohub02r and so forth. I could quickly bring up a tight, cozy list of results matching my search and now it feels more cumbersome; bloated.

    @sveltemimemansion , this thread has rollback instructions and additional information. I have rolled back 4 Macs (macOS, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge) and 1P 7 appears to be working fine. I have also turned off "automatically install updates."

  • Hi folks,

    Thanks for all your feedback here.

    I've added your voice to an internal issue we have on this.

    As mentioned elsewhere, while I can't make any promises, reordering fields and sections is something that's on our radar. This is the first release of 1Password 8 for Mac, but it isn't the final one, so we'll continue to iterate on it as time goes on.

    I can barely remember people asking for section re-ordering something like 5/6 years ago. Crossing fingers now ;)

  • We'll keep advocating on your behalf.

    @piggy where are the rollback instruction - that thread only shows what files are on your disk

  • Hi @bestlem:

    To switch back to 1Password 7, move 1Password 8 to the Trash from your Applications folder (you may need to quit it fully first from the menu bar), then unzip the 1Password 7 zip that was created when you installed 1Password 8.
