[CHANGE REQUEST] Rename of category "Social Security Number" to "Insurances"

Michael Friedrich

I know in the US the Social Security Number is an important number. But in fact there are more insurances where I can store the number and additional Data of it in 1Password. So just call it "Social Security Number" is a waste of category name - "Insurances" would mean more options, and the Social Security Number can be just one of a plenty insurances.

Hi Michael,

Thanks so much for your feedback here! Luckily the 'Social Security Number' is listed as a minor category, so it won't clutter up your sidebar unless you have saved an item into this category.

Hi @Megan,

I'm using it already cause up I needed a place to store all my insurance numbers and further details. But category is called with the social. As I'm german I don't know how many social security number Americans or Canadians usually have - is it more than 1 that it's worth to name a complete category? In Germany I have only one but a bunch of insurances for house, car, health...

Americans have one each also. In that category I have stored four entries, one for me, one for my spouse, and one each for our two children. That might be two more than I actually should have. So I agree that it's a little odd to dedicate a category to only a few entries. But on the other hand, I could image a business that keeps track of those numbers having many entiries for lots of clients, and it would important that they be stored securely.

Now that I think of it, the Passport category likely is of roughly similar use, in terms of number of entries in the category. I will only ever have one passport.

Perhaps adding a new category of "insurances" would be of more use? Or allowing the user to add their own categories??

Hi @frimble,

Custom categories is a popular request, and I'm happy to add your vote to the request in our internal issue tracker. :)

@hawkmoth @Megan I agree the "Passport" category is also a bit "oversized" - but its OK - cause its a separate type of important document. But even here wording is misleading, cause I have one passport and a national ID card - both are stored unter Passports. So I would suggest to rename this category to a more "common" wording. And yes: Custom categories might be great as well - but I think its not comfortable, due behind all the Logins/Passports/Servers ... are kind of layout templates - don't know if 1Password will loose comfort here if this is complete free ... Maybe have both

Hi Michael,

Thanks for following up here!

As you can imagine, category naming is a bit of a tricky business - finding names that are general enough to work for users across the globe, and yet specific enough to help users find exactly what they need as quickly as possible. Your feedback is much appreciated. :)
