New Item 'quicklinks' customization

I find myself quite frustrated with the 1password app of late...
Several things y'all have done have increased the toil within my workflows....
For example:
When I click on 'New item'
I'm given a constrained list of options, I cannot alter....

Why?

Shouldn't it be possible for the user to SELECT FOR THEMSELVES which actions to display prominently upon clicking the 'new item' button?

In my case, only two of the half dozen actions y'all have chosen are relevant to my daily activities with 1password.

I RARELY add credit cards.
I VERY INFREQUENTLY use 'secure note' or 'document' objects.
I HARDLY EVER use 'identities'

It is increasingly irksome to me that EVERY SINGLE TIME I click 'New item' I am forced to move through a workflow that slows me down and alienates me as a user....

(Without allowing the user to customize or alter them, The selection of THESE SPECIFIC 6 ELEMENTS, indicates that the "optimal 1p customer" SHOULD use those 6 the most frequently)

There's MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE to show several more....
However, for some .... really hard to find the logic in.... reason, y'all constrained the elevated items to 6.. and then hide all the rest beneath a horizontal bar with
"Migrate data into 1Password" call to action...

why is the entire bottom half of that window reserved for that call to action?!

This isn't helpful... it actively causes frustration for me EVERY SINGLE TIME I create an item now.

Admittedly.... perhaps this is an excessively strong reaction... :)

but nevertheless, if I don't reach out, I'm not giving y'all the opportunity to address the problem.:)

    Hello @wolfspyre! 👋

    Thank you for the feedback and I'm sorry that the new item creation process isn't optimal for you. Based on customer feedback, we’ve simplified the item creation process by displaying fewer categories when you select “+ New item” in the app. This allows users to more quickly create the six most commonly used types of items.

    I do understand that this new design won't match everyone's workflow and I can certainly pass along your feedback to our product and design teams. Can you tell me which item categories you use most often?

    One suggestion: have you tried creating items by typing into the search field rather than clicking on "Show more"? That can help speed up the creation process since we've made improvements to search so that 1Password is smarter about suggesting the right item category.
