New category for devices and appliances?

Just wondering if you've ever thought of adding a new category with related fields for devices and appliances? Something similar to the Software Licenses Category, with fields for things like: serial numbers, Model number, Manufacturer, purchase price and date, warranty, Order Number, etc.

I use the notes category to track lots of stuff like this, but having a category with dedicated common fields would be a great help. I know that it's not exactly a password, but the Software Licenses Category doesn't have a field for password either...

    Hello @rggoode! 👋

    I agree that a hardware/devices category would be a great addition! I have added your feature request to our internal tracker so that our Product team can look look into this as they are considering new features to add to future versions of 1Password. We get a lot of requests for new categories so I can't promise that this will be added but our team will consider it.

    I myself also use Secure Notes to keep track of things like recipes or other information that doesn't neatly fit into one of the Categories available in 1Password. Secure Notes are very flexible and you can add custom fields to organize the information that you add. Here's a blog post that explains some of the possibilities:

    Making the most of Secure Notes

    Regardless of whether you use a Secure Note or another item type you can create multiple items with the same set of custom fields by using a "template". Set one up the way you want it, then save that as an empty "template". Then you can duplicate that item (Command - D) and fill in the fields. You can group those items together by using Tags. You can even add custom icons to those items.

    Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

    Thanks for the tip about the templates... I'll try that.

    If you/they do consider adding a category for devices, perhaps it could be developed in such a way that household appliances can be added as well... Things like refrigerators and stoves, that carry a warranty. It would be handy in case you need to contact the manufacturer for repairs.

    I've got that excellent suggestion recorded. Warranty stuff is one thing that comes to mind for myself. 👍🏻
