V8 is a major step backward in usability
Can I go back to V7? Let me list the reasons
- The menu bar icon preference is set to show 1Password, but it isn't there (it was when I installed v8, but no longer)
- When the menu bar icon was there, the new interface is confusing. I can no longer select a login card to pin it to the screen to edit/change it.
- When I open up the desktop interface, it no longer comes up with my Favorites plus the 2 most recently used ones.
- etc, etc
I use this software as my personal password manager. But almost all of the development seems to be stuff for teams and groups. I feel like my subscription is paying for the focus to change away from my single user profile.
1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.3.3
OS Version: 12.3.1

I also find it a step backwards in it's current release. I have gone back to 1Password 7. I found at least 3 different function issues to the ones you mentioned.

Hi @markmark:
Thanks for your feedback on this. Do you have 1Password set to stay in your menu bar? If you don't have that setting enabled, and you use ⌘+Q to quit 1Password, then it will no longer be in the menu bar until the next time you launch 1Password from the Dock, your Applications folder, or Launchpad.
Quick Access operates a little differently than 1Password mini did. It's great for quickly copying information from an item, but if you'd like to view an entire item, or make changes to it, opening the full 1Password desktop app would be your best bet.
Once you select Favorites in the sidebar, it should remain selected, even after you quit 1Password. If that's not the experience you're seeing, let me know, and I can dig into it further with you.

How did Ghoffer go back to v7. I'd do that, too. How?

I agree 100% with all the comments here, especially what it is I'm actually paying to support! I have to admit the change to 1PW 8 has been less than inspiring for me, so much so that I'm close to binning 1PW, and its annual subscription altogether.
The 1PW helper or whatever it's called, the 1PW icon that sits in the Safari tool bar, is pain to use, and useless too! If I use the Mac Keychain password I hover over a site user / password dialogue box, get invited to use the Mac stored details and it works. This time I tried the 1PW option after I saw the 1PW logo in the field. Useless! I click it, then it opens up 1PW and asks me to log in (so it's already one more step than if I didn't use 1PW) and then to cap it all, I click the log in that then pops up an nothing happens, nothing! So what's the actual point of the Safari helper?? At the moment 1PW for me is good only for storing passwords, not enabling me to use them anywhere, and for that, it's expensive. I've now removed the Safari extension again and will go back to using something that actually works!
Had another issue yesterday as well. Tried to post a question to the forum in light of all the permissions this Safari (non helpful) Helper wants access to, nothing, post sitting in drafts saying it will be posted after it's been approved. So not only is the app getting next to useless, the support site is too! Not impressed at all. Once my subscription expires it won't be getting renewed at this rate! If 1PW cannot do what I need it to do, I'll find something that can. I'm not interested in supporting something on the basis that it used to have a good reputation, it's what it's like now!

Yep, left the Mac for a while, came back to go to a website requiring a log in and yep, I had to open 1PW again first. So 1PW actually obstructs the sign in process rather than assists it. OK 1PW may be more secure than keychain for sensitive PW etc but for some bog standard website with no sensitive information I don't need the extra hurdle of opening 1PW before I can log in. 1PW for Safari app deleted!
I also came across the Universal Autofill. Went through the process of activating it. Eventually got it to work on one site, where it AGAIN asked me to open 1PW, but then it worked. So I thought maybe this is the answer. Wrong! Went to another site, it brought up the 1PW search box as there was more than one log in then when I found the one I wanted I clicked and it came up with the usual '1PW cannot confirm' or whatever that the phone app always brings up so I clicked the fill in and update option. Promptly, nothing happened. I mean seriously, can 1PW actually do ANYTHING? I even tried again and just used the fill once option. Nothing. All well and good trumpeting this flashy new functionality, just better if it actually WORKS!
So that's confirmed for me. 1PW in the bin tray and I will now look for something that isn't garbage and where the Mac app doesn't look like something designed for a ZX Spectrum.

I too would like to revert to version 7. There are several things I don't like about version 8 but the biggest problem for me is that in version 7 if I double-clicked a login I'd be taken to the desired website, but in version 8 I just get this popup (which as a secondary problem annoyingly stays on top of all other windows).

EDIT: Nevermind, I discovered the information density setting. Thanks for that :)

Scott, are you aware on 1Password>Preferences>Appearance>Density>Compact?
By the way, does double-clicking a login to take you to the desired website work for you?

jmillerc2, in my case I just now downloaded version 7 from the App Store.
