Quick Access - Feedback regarding favorites and suggestion order

I echo all of "hazmat"'s concerns. Like to see the return of favorites in the menu bar, 1pwmini, or whatever it's called. No favorites is main reason I'm still on 1PW7. So, there's that...for what it's worth. Thanks.

Hello hazmat! 👋

Thank you for the feedback! We tend to play things pretty close to the chest and avoid announcing changes and new features in advance in order to avoid disappointing folks if something doesn't work out or is delayed.

1Password 8 is a completely brand new experience and there might be a new way of doing something that might work for you. Can you tell me more about how you used favourites in 1Password 7 and I'll see if I can find an equivalent workflow for you with 1Password 8 or file feedback for our development team if I can't. 🙂

Thanks, Dave. I have a handful of frequently-used items that I access from 1P Mini. Opt-Cmd-\, then Cmd-, then Favorites. I don't considering having to search for everything an improvement. What's the point of Favorites, then? Is there a quick way to get to them from Quick Access?

I have 1Password 8 on one test machine just to keep looking to see if Quick Access got smarter. There are two things I've tried that would be fine for me, but neither has worked. I tried searching for favorites in Quick Access, but no results. I tried adding a "fav" tag in one of my favorites and then searched, but nothing. So it doesn't even search for tags.

Ok, trying to save you some work, I found some of the stuff you can type into Quick Access. In my case the most useful is "=favorites". That's a lot to type each time I want my favorites. I can make a Keyboard Maestro macro to complete that with fewer keystrokes. Is there any better way to accomplish this?

Thanks for the feedback, I've let the team know that you'd like to see a better way to access favourites from Quick Access.

So that I can pass along more details: Are you accessing favourites in order to open and fill a login into the browser? If you are then have you considered going through 1Password in the browser instead? You can set it to always show favourites when you open it from your browser's toolbar:

1. Open your browser.
2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
3. Click Appearance & Shortcuts.
4. Set Set "Open 1Password to" to "Favorites".

1Password in the browser's pop-up will always open to favourites going forward.

If you're not opening a website but are instead looking for information to fill or enter into an app then Quick Access will show you suggestions that are relevant to the app that you have open. For example, if you have Zoom open and then you open Quick Access you'll see any item relevant to Zoom. You can also associate items with specific apps by using Universal Autofill: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate the suggestions, but it's not really as easy as that for me. I often need to get various kinds of info copied to paste elsewhere. So it's not only in the browser or even a specific app. I also find sometimes Quick Access seems to forget where it's supposed to be, so it still has items from the previous web site or search you did. I'd prefer to just have a no-fail way to get to my favorites.

Thank you for the feedback. I've shared your comments with the team. 🙂

Incidentally, why does Quick Access not show the actual data in the item? It would be very useful to be able to see how long until a one-time password is going to expire before copying it to paste elsewhere, without having to open the item in a new window. Kind of a waste of time and clicks.

This was one of the things keeping me from updating from v7 to v8, and in revisiting v8 on a test Mac, I'm seeing no improvement over a year later. In this case it's my work Office 365 account. I went to office.com to log in, and the autofill list has a direct match for the URL four items down. The top item is a super old hotmail login at live.com. Nothing from that item is at the current site I'm at. How does this stuff work?
