Feature Request: Folder organization
Bring back organize passwords into folders. The system with tags and collections is absolutely terrible. This might work well when you have 10 passwords, but I have more than 1k. Every time I need to find something or add a new entry, it turns into some kind of nightmare. After version 6, with each version it only gets worse.

Hello @Reloac! 👋
Thank you for the suggestion! As you mentioned, 1Password offers several ways to organize your items. The most basic way is by using the built-in categories which divide your items by type, such as Logins or Identities: 1Password item categories
Beyond that, you can create different vaults for different purposes. So you can have one vault that will contain items that only you use and another that contains items that your family uses as well. You can create many different vaults and name them anything you wish: Create and share vaults
Collections are groups of vaults and they allow you to specify which vaults and items you see and search so that you can exclude the vaults you don't need during your regular day. You can read more about Collections here: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults
Tags allow you to organize items regardless of their category or vault. You can use a tag as a sort of pseudo-folder since it will only contain the items that include that tag. You can search for different tags by using search filters: Search in the 1Password app to find what you need
The system with tags and collections is absolutely terrible. This might work well when you have 10 passwords, but I have more than 1k. Every time I need to find something or add a new entry, it turns into some kind of nightmare.
That does sound frustrating and I'd love to pass along your experience and request to our product team so that they can see if we can improve how 1Password works for you. Can you tell me a little more about what kind of item you're looking for and how you're searching for that item in 1Password? By understanding your need for a feature like folders the product team will be able to prioritize your request accordingly. 🙂

Thank you for the detailed feedback! We do have an existing issue regarding the inability to collapse nested tags and I've added your comments there. I've also passed along your feedback regarding organization and folders in 1Password to our product team.
Same with search. I may not remember exactly what an element is called, but I know which group it belongs to, and in the case of a hierarchy, I can quickly find what I need. But if I use tags and I need the password for the "Name" company server, I will select the "Name" tag and get a list of a large number of items associated with the company, servers, databases, mailboxes, website accounts, etc.
You can use search filters to help with this:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Type
=tag:Name =category:Serverinto the search field and click Show all matching items or press Command-Enter.
You'll only see Server items that have that specific tag.
