Contacts in 1Password
Currently all of my contacts data is spread across several email accounts and a few phones. I'd prefer to maintain these in 1Password, but don't see a category for 'contact'? Is this functionality on the horizon, or did I overlook it?

It's not something that 1Password supports, as it's designed as a password manager. That's our area of expertise, and since there are all manner of contact management solutions out there for a wide variety of use cases and users, it's not something we have any plans for. We're focused on making 1Password the best password manager we can. :)

Contact management works best when it is integrated at the OS level and the native apps all share a contact's database. Unfortunately, not many OS's do this, so you're stuck managing your own. And this ultimately results in contacts being out of sync across your sites/apps.
A few years ago, I created a vCard converter at the request of a user. In case you don't know, a vCard is the de-facto standard for contact data representation. Many email apps/sites can export your contacts as vCards, so you could convert / import then (and for those sites/apps that do not export as vCards, CSV might be an option).
See my posts starting here. Ask if you need help.

Brently, thanks for the prompt reply. I can understand the focus and desire to be the best password manager, but frankly ... I believe you guys already have that nailed down. What prompted my question was the existence of all the other non-password related categories e.g. passport, drivers license, etc., the only category missing was contacts. Do you happen to have a contact manager that you'd be willing to recommend?
MRC, " this ultimately results in contacts being out of sync across your sites/apps" I resemble this remark! Yes, familiar with vCard and CSV formats, although vCard seems to be better and more widely accepted. This, to me sounds like a market niche that needs filling ..... just say'in Brently
Thanks guys, input appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback @AlanBob. It seems right now our goal is to focus on our core offering, vs expanding into other areas, so I don't suspect we'll be adding contact management to 1Password in the near future. As far as a recommendation... I personally use the built-in Contacts app on Apple devices and that suits my needs.
I'm sorry I don't have the answer you were hoping for.

I just want to say its an odd answer to give, when you already have SECURE NOTES, IDENTITIES, PASSPORTS and CC. iPassword is a secure information depository, no matter what you call it. Customers want this apparently, and now that iPassword is a subscription, we expect new features on a regular basis, how else is a subscription justified if not for delivering new features on a regular basis? What new features have been rolled out in the past year and what is in the pipeline?

Our future plans are not public. That's something we still hold fairly close to the chest. :)
