Am I the only one who prefers version 7?
Hello,
Following the update to version 8, I am not at all satisfied with the search system.
Indeed, this one proposes an auto-completion rather than a dynamic filtering (as on version 7). So the information is much less visible (I don't see the associated emails etc).
Is it possible to change this behavior, or to go back to the previous version?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Vincent

No you are not.
What is frustrating to me is the unwillingness to provide explanations for why the new version does not include some of the useful features and abilities of the old version. If these changes are somehow advantageous, please explain it to me. Otherwise I assume they are all the result of misguided design & execution.

Probably the explanation is "it's prettier". Every once in a while a design team announces a product is stale or old and needs to be updated to a "modern" design. But, as designers, they may be more focused on how it looks than how it works; or they may decide that some new ideas on how things "should" work are wonderful and they would make the product "better". And this is what we get. Stuff just doesn't work anymore either because they compromised on features to get the new pretty stuff out the door and chopped functionality, or they just don't care enough about their existing customer base that they find it ok to force people to their vision. What is frustrating to me is they get away with this crap because at its core 1P is an excellent product. But, they are spending NPS to satisfy their designers.

The new version of 1password is an electron app, which allows for more parity between web apps (like the browser extension and the website) so I can understand why they have moved in this direction.
But a lot of key features are missing. I'm typically forgiving about new releases (I am a UX designer for a business software company), but 1password isn't some nice-to-have app. It's a pocketknife: something I use maybe 20-30 times a day. Unfortunately, the importance of feature parity increases the more indispensible your app is. A champagne problem, sure, but a real one. All my vaults are mixed together (I have a family plan) and this really gunks up my workflow. 20-30 times a day.
I've rolled back to 1password 7 for now. The developers seem to be listening and taking the feedback, which I appreciate. But I'd like to underscore the prevailing sentiment that 1password 8 just doesn't feel ready for primetime. Thanks to the developers for all their hard work on this.

This explains why so many things are missing / have changed in a way that makes the app more difficult to use. I'll be rolling back to 1Password 7 as well.

Every couple of days I try 1PW8 on my test installation and within minutes I'm switching back to my production system with 1PW7. Way to many workflows are broken, hidden behind dropdown menus or are much more complicated. These issues are not related to the electron switch. They are related to a UI/UX designer who for whatever reason thought it's time to replace well known UI patterns with something different.
Just have a look at the item counts. Most applications show item counts just next to the item they belong to and allow to switch visibility via a checkbox in a view menu. 1PW8 had this design for a few days and switched to a completely pointless design. Item counts are now hidden within the sort order button and even worse at the end of every list. The last one is just insane. You have to scroll the whole list down to get the item count - sometimes scrolling thousands of items.Other examples of missing or barely usable functionality:
- Search: it took ten months to get basic functionality like sub string search back. But the awful UI with its dropdown window and extra short cut to get all results is still not removed. I rely on search and I would like to get all results without some kind of relevance filtering nonsense in between.
- Moving fields was omitted because they thought non one needs it.
- Password generator is no longer available in mini/quick access. You have to use the browser plugin.
- Many previously directly available actions are now hidden in dropdown menus.
- Change of shortcuts that were available for years.
- US date format still used in some places.

As I have commented dozens of times in other threads, everything listed in this thread are sorely missed features in 1P8. As I have also noted elsewhere, a public acknowledgement of the mistakes made in the rollout of 1P8, along with a publicly available product roadmap, would be very useful to avoid the customer drain that I believe is happening (based upon comments) because of the premature rollout of 1P8.

Could someone redirect me to the procedure to rollback to version 7?
Thanks in advance0 -
No, I hate version 8 - the search is much worse, the reliability is worse - i'm constantly getting bugs and crashed and the Safari plugin is AWFUL. It constantly doesn't work. I've had to force restart it multiple times and then it breaks again - currently it doesn't even think I have a vault to search. Terrible.

Ok, I'm offically rolling back to 7 after reading this thread. It's been over 30 days of usage and every time I go to enter a password, my brain says "Ugh, here we go again, you HATE this". It's amazing to me how one can go for pure love for a product to "I wonder what other apps are out there" all over some very subtle shifts in UI functionality. Thank goodness I found this thread. You might have lost me 1PW had I not seen this here. Public acknowledgement for realz. This app being marketed and celebrated in my email is confusing and damaging.

to me it feels like really enjoying eating with a fork, and suddenly having the fork replaced with a silly straw and being told this is what you now have to use as your "new fork" because that's what forks are now...
I don't think agilebits cares to be honest...
to roll back to 7 you can, simply drag 1password to the trash (browser extensions as well), don't use app removal software... then download 1password 7 and re-install it... technically you can just re-extract 7 in your apps folder but the safari plugin won't work, you'll need to re-run the installer for that to work if you installed v8's plugin...
