Here's why I went back to 1Password 7
I tried 1Password 8 for a while and overall really like it, especially Universal Autofill, but I had to go back to 1Password 7 unfortunately. If any when I see these things have been improved, I'll be happy to revisit.
- Quick Access is just a search bar. No access to Favorites, etc. That's not very quick access to my important stuff.
- I use 1Password Mini to fill in personal info and credit card info in web forms. Not possible via Quick Access. I think the Safari toolbar icon shows basically a Mini window like before, but I remove all those third party toolbar icons because I hate the forced blue for them. That's on Apple.
- When filling logins in a browser, the login options that come up are not properly displayed. Like one at work were I have other logins under the same domain name, but only one that's an exact match for the subdomain, with 1Password 7, it simply filled in the login via ⌘\, but in 1Password 8, it pulls up a menu with everything under that domain name, and the exact subdomain match isn't even the first (default) option.

I have just reverted to version 7 for the reasons you mentioned, plus some others. I have 1P Mini activated by double-tapping the right command-key and never need to click on the browser button. Mini floats wherever I want it to and displays everything I NEED it to. It doesn't make false assumptions about the context, it doesn't truncate the names of similar items and it doesn't auto-submit (unless I want it to). In functional terms, it's like night-and-day ...1Password 7 is far superior. I do not understand how 1Password 8 got through testing in its present form.
I moved to 8 the other day, and quickly came to the same conclusions as above--particularly item 3 in hazmat's list.
Have 1Password installed on three Apple machines. Briefly tried out V8 on one system and went back to V7 within one day. Reasons that are listed above as well as a few others. I believe the relevant question that needs to be addressed now is this. How long will V7 remain supported? And, is there any time frame within which users will be "forced" to move to V8? Based on the feedback in this forum, a "forced" move to V8 would prove a very poor business decision.
I moved to version 8 yesterday, it was bad enough having to suck it up and finally be forced to move to their subscription plan for my personal information, but the changes to the login model are the cherry on the top. No master password and now I must login to each vault is a deal-breaker (and I'm not using a single password for all the accounts as recommended) I'm rolling back to 7 and I'll be reconsidering what I use at home and within my company.
It reminds me of what happened with Fantastical.. take a great product, then change it to how the devs think it should work ignoring the user's needs, and end with a heap of crap.
