1Password 8 issues

Hi @chimney,

Thanks for the feedback you've provided here. I'll respond to your points individually, with the caveat that I don't think it's especially helpful for you to insult our designers. Much of what you've detailed here are subjective preferences, which not everyone will agree with, and while we're happy to engage with you on how to make 1Password better (and appreciate your passion for the app!), we can have a more productive conversation if you're willing to engage on a respectful basis. I appreciate your understanding on that.

1. Unjustified huge interligne between the items

This is a great example of a subjective preference - we've heard plenty of feedback that the item size looks great. At the same time, there are people for whom increased size is even a bonus - some folks have varying degrees of vision loss, or trouble with visual processing, and making things distinct and clear is an advantage in this case.

Either way, we have an open internal discussion about providing other options for folks who would prefer a more compact style. I'll add your comments here to the list.

2. New fat and cartoonish style that does not look professional

See response above.

3. The useless left panel

We designed this partly in response to customer feedback, but likewise there is an internal discussion about the way the side panel might be handled, and I'll once again add your name to that.

Many unaligned elements in the visual layout, the elements are randomly located here and there with no readable logic and connection, thus chaotic

I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but if you provide examples (or screenshots), I'll be happy to check them out!

Terrible search that makes having your own Favourite items meaningless

Search is an ongoing focus of work for us here. You can expect to see improvements to this coming in future updates. We understand it's important to be able to find what you need! 👍

The new star icon for Favourites... It's not easy to catch with a corner of your eye even on the item without an icon.

Maybe there's a way we can make this better, in terms of visual contrast (I'll speak with our accessibility working group about it). I'll point out, though, that there is also the entirely distinct Favorites menu, so you don't have to rely on scrolling through your whole unfiltered list and visually hunting for favorite items. You can use the Favorites menu to see only the things you've chosen to reserve as such. I hope this is helpful!

I believe the designers should have a proper experience of using 1P themselves on an everyday basis.

The designers, and all of us who work at 1Password, use the app every day. That's partly a basis for our testing, but it's also because we just want to both create and use the best solution possible. We continually test the app for bugs, potential improvements, and accessibility, and are dedicated to making things better with every release. We understand that not every design decision will be universally loved - millions of people use 1Password, that would be impossible. But you can rest assured that we use the app constantly, test it consistently, care a lot about what we do, and will give you our best.
