Sort Items by Usage-Frequency [FEATURE REQUEST]

GFEMajor

Hi,
with the new "All Vaults" Mode, every Login is showing for a website, and that is great. But I have to login to some websites very often and after "merging" the vaults, this login is on position 4 or 5, so i have to use the arrow keys to get to tis login (or search for it, but this is not very fast).
So it would be great if the sort order of the item in 1P mini when trying to login to a website would be based on the frequency of the usage. So, if I use an login 20 time, it is in the list over (on top) an item that I just used 1 time.

Maybe this is just an config issue?

Thanks for the help.

Hi @GFEMajor,

That's an interesting idea. Currently we sort the items in that list alphabetically but with the favourites at the top of the list. So you can favourite the item you will use the most often.

To have it sorted by usage frequency we would have probably add a preference (which doesn't currently exist).

Just so you know, you can remove certain vaults that you don't use often from All Vaults if you wish in Preferences > All Vaults.

Thanks for the fast answer. To favorize an item seems a good idee. I can't leave out some vaults, because I need them all ;). But since there are only few logins I need very often, this is a good solution for me.
But the sort thing should be on your road map, because I think it is a good feature to boost productivity ;)

Thanks @GFEMajor, I will make sure that we take a look at that feature.

+1 for sorting by usage

I know I can star items. But sorting by usage essentially removes the need of starring and curating your items, which is more time consuming.

At least to me, the sensible default is sorting by usage. But otherwise an option for choosing by usage or alphabetically would be greatly appreciated.

I hope the 1Password team can look into this again. It's very annoying for power users to always have to open the '....more' button for an item that's not tactically renamed or faved to be on top of the list. Besides that: I've got way too much items to rename. The addition of a Sort by: Most Used option, especially in 1Password mini, would be perfect.

Hi @Ton55,

Thank you for giving us your input on how you'd like to see your items sorted! We'll keep it in mind for sure! :chuffed:

Thanks @Pilar That would help my productivity a lot!

+1 This would also be good in a case where the password file is compromised. Having a list of the most important/used logins would be great to prioritize what to change first.

Hi @ianneub2

I have good news for you :chuffed: If you go to the main app of 1Password, right under the search bar you'll see "n items sorted by Title" or something different. If you click there one of the options now is "Frequency used". I would recommend you to click there and see how that works for you. Please let us know what you think when you've tried this :chuffed:

Oh sweet! I didn't even notice that. Thanks @Pilar !

On behalf of Pilar, you're quite welcome! It's easy to miss those sorting options in the main app, but once you know about them, they can be really useful.

Have a great weekend! :)

GFEMajor

This is quite useful, but it would be more useful if the sorting mechanism would apply to 1P Mini also! There is the place, where I need the sort by frequency most.

Drew_AG

Thanks again for your feedback, @GFEMajor! I'd be glad to let our developers know that having those sorting options apply to mini would be helpful for you. I can't make any promises about if/when that might happen, but hopefully we'll be able to make some improvements there at some point.

We're here for you if you need anything else! :)
