Updating a password in a Shared Vault places new password in my Personal Vault
Hi and good morning amazing 1Password fix-it team!
I tried to find an existing thread on this topic but couldn't, so apologies if one is currently open.
I was using the fabulous Watchtower this morning to go through my Personal vault and Shared family vaults. AT&T needed a password update which I proceeded to do from within the Shared vault. More often than not I get the "update existing password" dialog box when I have updated the password, but occasionally the password just gets updated on the site only and I have to manually find the new password and update the specific entry in 1Password. This was the case for AT&T this morning. So within the Shared vault I went in search of my new AT&T password. It wasn't there! It took me a few minutes to realize the new AT&T password was sitting in the password section of my Personal vault even though I was working in the Shared vault.
I wouldn't call this a bug in anyway, but it would have been more intuitive (for me at least) to have found the new password in the password category of the vault I was working in. So I was just wondering if either I was don't something wrong or this is something that you know about and may tweak in the future?

@bwoodruff Thanks for your response Ben. I was in the Shared vault, not All Vaults, when the password was changed, but you are right that my Vault for Saving is set to Personal. So even though I was in the shared vault I still need to go into the Personal vault to copy the password in the event the login doesn't offer to update the existing password? It's not a problem to do that, it just seems a long way round. Thanks ;)

@bwoodruff BTW, how do you blur something out when posting a screenshot? A special app or a function I don't know about on my MBP?

@bwoodruff The extension was also set to shared vault.

@bwoodruff Oh, and I figured out a way to blur using boring old Preview on the mac!

@bwoodruff I've reproduced it twice.

@bwoodruff Hey Ben - I just reproduced it a third time. Selected my Shared Vault and found a login that needed an updated password. Also confirmed extension was on the same vault. This time it was hp.com. I updated the password and 1Password didn't show the dialogue box to update existing password. When I went to retrieve the new password from the password category it wasn't there .. it was in my personal vault. So, easily reproducible. For these tests I have been using chrome and 1P beta extension. Happy to try on safari if you'd like.

I don't think that'll be necessary. I just tried it myself and can confirm. It sounds like we have some logic built-in so that generated passwords are only saved in the Primary / Personal vault. I imagine that is to prevent passwords from accidentally ending up in shared vaults when not intended to be there. I'll pass the feedback along to the dev team though to see if that is something they might reconsider.

Ben, can you explain how to "You generated the password using the browser extension, right? " "Was the extension set to the Shared vault, or was it set to All Vaults?"
Where do I make that setting specifically for the browser extension???Thomas
