3 years ago1Password 8 - Where are the settings previously in the "Vault" Preference Pane
I was trying out 1Password 8 primarily to see if biometric unlocking would help a specific user. However, I could not find the settings which are available in the Preferences>Vault pane of 1Password ...

3 years agoThat said, you can set a saving vault in 1Password on the browser. That might be helpful to you.
If you use the setting set in the Browser, is that a user level setting which would propagate to and be used by the iOS and macOS applications or only a setting with relevance while using the browser?
With respect to using Collections that might work for my needs, depending on how "Collections" interact with your browser extensions. In particular, if one sets a Collection in the macOS app, will the browser extensions only use that specific Collection for both retrieving credentials and storing new credentials? If also for storing, which my quick test shows the Collection choice within the macOS app persisting across invocations of the macOS app, will that continue to be the case?
I would need similar support for both macOS and iOS. Also, it appears from my quick test that when a Collection contains multiple Vaults that adding a credential defaults to the first Vault in the list but can be overridden before saving. It might be nice to be able to specify the default Vault for the Collection. Here my quick test seems to indicate that the Collection setting in the macOS app does not propagate to the 1Password Quick Access popup.
Please see my prior question for the usage pattern I am trying to support. That is novice users such as child or elderly relative whom Family manager is trying to support.
I really want to be able to have the family members default be to retrieving and storing in a specific Shared Vault.
