I have stand alone app... Can you suggest ways to do the following:

organize folders or tags ... and keep separated - for varied uses like
-business
-home
-family

Q: is there a way to add multiple items at once to

  • a folder?
  • a tag?

right now I can only do this with favorites

Any other organizing tips would be appreciated.

Thanks Dave

    @dealtek - If you're using 1Password for Mac in standalone mode, you can take advantage of both Folders and Tags. If you want my opinion, Tags are much more flexible and powerful than folders; they're also less restrictive. You can add multiple tags to any item, and create as many Smart Folders as you like, to keep your data organized in whatever way makes most sense to you. With traditional folders, you can only put an item in a single folder, with Smart Folders, a single item can be in as many Smart Folders (saved searches) as you give it tags. You could, for example, create a "work" tag as well as a "personal" tag -- though this same function can also be accomplished by creating a new vault for yourself, calling it "Work", and putting all of your business-related items into that. We try to give you enough flexibility to set things up yourself. Happy organizing! :)

    Thanks Lars - makes sense....

    but it's laborious to do this one items at a time...

    what about this....

    Q: is there a way to add multiple items at once to

    a folder?
    a tag?
    

    I want to select several items at once then edit all at once and add a tag

    right now I can only do this with favorites

    how do i do this with tags so i don't have to edit 1 at a time for tags?

    Thanks Dave

    +1, tagging needs a little love in the Windows application too.
    While we are on the subject, can we also get an autocomplete too so when we start typing a tag name you let us choose from previously entered tags.
