1Password 4 Feedback
Just upgraded to 1Password 4 a couple weeks ago and thought I'd share some feedback. I mainly use it with the Chrome extension and rarely use the app.
The Good:
- Generally prettier all around.
- It noticed I was updating a password and automatically asked if it should update the 1P4 database as well. I've been waiting for this.
- It remembers the last generated password. Super useful.
- I like the Heartbleed/Watchtower notifications.
The Bad:
- Cannot edit login info directly in 1P4 extension (in Chrome).
- Search doesn't offer possible completions as you type.
- Cmd-/ randomly stops working.
The Ugly:
- Installation does not add (or offer to add) 1P4 agent to startup. I hated having to manually start up 1P4 until I figured this out. And this would be so simple to fix.
Things I'd like to see:
- A way to check for password reuse (ie. scan all login passwords and let me know any that are reusing the same password).
- When login form no longer matches 1P4's data, it should alert the user. I found this happening a lot when going back and updating passwords based on Watchtower notifications. And if this could also be tied to the auto-update prompt so I don't have to delete and re-save the login, that would really make it a lot more convenient.
- Alternatively, when asked to save a "new" login, also get the option to overwrite an existing one.

Correct, but there is a workaround (albeit cumbersome). Right-click on the menu item. A new sub-menu should appear. From here, you can open this Login item in 1Password.

It should. Have you tried to restart the 1Password helper?
Help > Restart 1Password Helper
Not only does this restart the helper, it will also re-install the helper to startup.

Please click on the drop-down that reads "Create new Login". If you have existing Logins for the same domain, it should allow you to replace those:

Didn't know about it. But the install process definitely didn't install it on my machine. I was upgrading from the old version, maybe something went wrong?
This page should be updated: https://guides.agilebits.com/kb/1password4/en/topic/launch-automatically (this is the #2 google result for "1password windows startup").
Re: overwriting existing passwords - I just saw this today. Perhaps I wasn't prompted before because the existing account info was out of date?

Maybe you un-installed the old version AFTER you installed the 4.0 version? Just a thought.

Sorry for the confusion. That article is under "Older versions" > "1Password 1 for Windows", which we retain for those folks who haven't yet upgraded to the current version.
