Did 1Password change my vault named "Personal" to "Private"?

billj

I have 1Password Families. My non-shared items had been in a vault named "Personal." But tonight I discovered (or became aware) that they're now in a vault named "Private." Is this a change that 1Password made, along the lines of renaming "Private" to "Employee" in 1Password Business? I'm not objecting to this. I just want to make sure I'm not losing my mind.

Getting started: Create and share vaults says, "The built-in Personal, Private, or Employee vault can’t be renamed or deleted. The name of this vault varies depending on your account type."

Is there a list of account types and their corresponding non-shared vault? If not, would you please correct the one I made below?

1Password Individual -> Personal
1Password Families -> Private
1Password Teams -> ?
1Password Business -> Employee

Thanks.

Looking at my local vaults I see the following.

Individual - Personal
Families - Private
Team - Employee
Business - Employee

No, the names have not changed for other offerings. You may have seen a change if you changed from Individual to a Family. Back years ago there was a bug that has since been patched but it would allow you to rename the vault. You could have experienced this too.

Introducing Employee Vaults for Teams & Business

After speaking with customers, we renamed 1Password Teams and Business private vaults to employee vaults to reduce confusion between work and personal accounts. No functionality is changing – just the name.

Hello @ag_tommy.

Please make it possible to change the vault name back to whatever suits the user.

I am using only 1Password for Teams and am fully used to see name "personal" for my private vault.

Each time I see "Employee" is just strange and does not look good.

I should be able to name the vault I use to store my passwords to whatever I like, no?

I get the idea of having such naming by default for all new 1Password users. I also understand that such default naming might be convenient for users who have both Work / Team and Personal / Family 1 Passwords accounts... But making such naming obligatory for everyone regardless of the use case and removing possibility to change the name of the vault is just not a good change for sure.

Thanks @Ivan_K

I have passed on your desire (verbatim) to the team working on this. They will see it later this morning.

+1 for allowing users to customize the default vault name to their preference.

Thanks for sharing @prox

I've shared your enthusiasm for this feature with the team, and the hope of it becoming a reality.
