When to use Quick Access vs browser extension
I recently realized that there are two different ways of searching 1Password v8 in the browser: you can bring up Quick Access or you can bring up the browser extension's UI.
In v7 I didn't think of these as separate things. No matter the context, I'd hit cmd+\, and I'd be using 1Password Mini. In v8, I only just found out that there's a totally different keyboard shortcut to bring up the browser extension UI, and its functionality is very different from Quick Access.
I may be over thinking things, but I'm a little confused as to why there are two ways of searching & browsing 1pwd within a browser. What's the recommendation for when to use one method vs. the other?

The new quick access is a serious usability regression from the Quick Access we had in v7. I much prefer the version you get in the browser. v8 also removes quick access from the menu bar so the menu bar item is now basically useless. I don't really understand most of the usability changes that have been made in v8, it's a lot worse to use. When possible I use toolbar item in browser because it's great to use, and have completely turned off Quick Access as it's annoying to use. If needed, I now just open the full app instead

Hi @skatch:
1Password in your browser is great at creating new Login items directly from the page you're on. While it's definitely possible to just use Universal Autofill from Quick Access, for best results, you can use them together.
You can customize the menu bar icon to show Quick Access.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've added your voice to an internal feature request for resizing 1Password in the browser.
