Even automobile, lawnmower, generator, furnace, water heater, appliances, etc.?

@JeffJoe65 - I am just a fellow user like yourself, but my best guess is that the developers will implement the ability for users to create their own custom catgories before they will try to mediate among the various users interested in their own new special category. I also have hung around the forum long enough to know not to expect any particular revision to be announced ahead of its release. But while we wait to see, have you checked out using Secure Notes for things of that nature? Just a thought, in case it hadn't occurred to you.

@JeffJoe65: Indeed, custom categories are a feature we'd like to add in the future. But in the mean time, as hawkmoth mentioned, Secure Notes are a great way to store the more 'miscellaneous' information like this. For example, I have a Secure Note with my device serial numbers. I hope this helps! :)

I'll just add that I have all kinds of stuff in Secure Notes! It's one of my favourite sections of 1Password, and I consider it to be the safest, most secure area of my devices and the iMac. Can't imagine life without 1Password. :)

Wow! Thank you, Marina! Thank you for your kind words, and your support. I'm glad to hear that 1Password has found a place on your hard drive — and in your heart. And quite frankly we couldn't imagine (or perhaps, don't want to imagine) life without you and the rest of our awesome customers. I hope you're enjoying your holidays. We're here if you need us! :chuffed:

I agree that using a secure note is a good "workaround" for storing information like model and serial numbers. With that said, I would like to vote for adding a new dedicated category to store model numbers and serial numbers. Examples: Cars, appliances, TVs, computers, iPhones. This new category could also include fields for warranty information.

Hi @jkwuc89,

Thanks so much for adding your vote here! Different categories are one of our most popular feature requests (based on my purely subjective wanderings around the forums). One of the biggest challenges we'll face when the time comes to redesign 1Password's categories is which categories will be most useful to the widest number of users (let's just say I'm quite happy that I don't have to make that final decision!) So, I'm glad to hear that Secure Notes sound like a reasonable solution to you for now. Of course, we will continue to listen to all feedback and take it into account when it does come time to shake up the categories. :)

To avoid too many different categories, couldn't you add a new main category 'warranty'. This would cover all purchases, from lawn movers, to computers to whatever. If the fields would be warranty specific and a file upload is possible as usual, all is set and the less accessible secure notes do not have to be used. All warranties are in one spot.

Thank you,

Frans

Hi Frans ( @FransG ),

Thanks so much for the suggestion!
