I am wondering if I could suggest a new category for storing mobile phone info e g, numbers, PIN, SIM card and carrier details etc. I would find this very useful.

    Hi @HRD,

    I'll add it to our list but it is probably likely that we'll bring over custom categories rather than adding more categories that some folks might not use. Please read my post here to see what you can do about creating a pseudo-category of your own for now.

    PS: I moved your thread from betas to the general 1Password 4 for Mac forums since this isn't related to the betas itself.

    Hi @HRD,

    There's no new news about this at the moment. Our primary focus is on iOS 8 and Yosemite updates right now.

    But I have updated the internal request, noting your nudging re-interest; thanks! :)

    Hi @HRD‌

    Unfortunately I don't have an update other than to say our developers have it on their list. :( Sorry!

    Hi @bwoodruff,

    I will wait patiently but my initial request for this was made early last year, so I guess it is not a priority for you guys..

    Hi @HRD,

    Thanks so much for checking in on us, and I'm sorry that we don't have a better answer for you right now. Unfortunately, it seems like the day is always too short, and we aren't able to implement all of the cool features that we'd like. But we do appreciate it when users keep us honest and remind us of the things that are important to them.

    Hi @Megan,

    Do you think this will facility will be available in future?

    Hi @HRD,

    In general, we hear a lot of requests for this category or that category, so it's difficult to determine which ones will be useful to the greatest number of users. We don't want to get to a point where 1Password is saturated with a million different little categories that only a few people use. As Mike has mentioned above, a customizable category might be a more likely addition than all of the requested categories that we hear about.

    Hi @Megan,

    Understood and I take that as a "no". However, I would have thought having a mobile phone category would get used widely.

    Hi @HRD,

    I have to admit, I haven't heard any requests for this type of category except from you. This isn't to say that others wouldn't find it handy, but if they are dreaming about it, they haven't really let us know.

    Hi @Megan,

    I bet it would be popular if this category was available - I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have a mobile phone these days.

    Hi @HRD,

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As mentioned above, we'll consider this when determining how to re-vamp categories in the future. :)

    Hi @HRD,

    I'm not Megan as you can guess by the avatar but I thought I'd respond on her behalf.

    Sorry but there isn't progress to report at the moment. I believe there is a chain of requirements that have to be fulfilled before we can even start with customisable categories. All sorts of hardcoded stuff in the application and data storage formats. That's why custom categories is still an ongoing request - if it were easier we would have done it already simply to make all the people that want this happy.

    I would say hands down it's the most popular request and as soon as we're in a position to do so we will I'm sure.

    Believe me, we all look forward to the day where we can finally say "we have customisable categories" :wink:
