Comments on latest beta

An update to my comments for beta 80500103:

Items marked with ** are the ones REALY REALLY bugging me and would love to see fixed.
Items marked with FIXED!! are, errr, fixed! THANKYOU!!!
Items marked CANNOT COMMENT are those I can no longer issue comments on due to a change in my environment, mostly my new 2021 MBP.

(STILL AN ISSUE **) Start another app in fullscreen (eg; Tweetbot), then open 1Password from the dock icon or the icon in your Applications folder. The app opens on top of the fullscreen app (which isn't in itself bad but is a bit weird). The issue is that even though 1Password now has focus, the toolbar in the menubar still shows the menu for Tweetbot. Surely this menu should show the menu for whichever app is in focus.

(FIXED!!!) If you use a four-finger swipe gesture on the trackpad to enter Mission Control and create a new blank Desktop space, then drag the 1Password window up and onto that new desktop space, the cursor just shows a no-entry sign icon and when you let go of the drag, the app just pops back to where it was.

(STILL AN ISSUE **) If the app was in fullscreen when it was closed, then when it is reopened it should restore back to being fullscreen, it does not, it just makes the window as large as possible without being properly in fullscreen mode.

(STILL AN ISSUE) The close "X" button of the Preferences window is driving me insane being on the right-hand side when for consistency with MacOS, it should be on the left. OR, better still, make the Preferences window a real MacOS dialog window. That would help more due to it actually being moveable and able to be positioned outside the 1Password app so content underneath can be referenced for any reason.

(STILL AN ISSUE PARTLY) Options made possible in the web version, from the Apple open source Password Management Resources are still not possible to be used in the Desktop app. I know a new link to the site has been added to WatchTowers warning but mostly it just takes you to the site. It doesn't look like it's using the PMR. I'd expect feature parity from the features enabled by using these on the web version to be in the desktop versions and even mobile versions.

(CANNOT COMMENT) On a machine without Touch ID, using 1Password from a text field in a browser when 1Password needs to be unlocked, still causes you to be thrown over to the 1Password app for the unlock to take place and then throws you back to the browser. The sudden shifts in context are very strange and really mess you up, focus wise. It "may" be that I use my browser in fullscreen mode all the time but not sure. On a machine with Touch ID, it's a much nicer experience as the Touch ID dialog shows up and allows you to authenticate without massive shifts in context. Soooo much nicer. - Note: I don't think I'll be able to test this soon enough as my new machine is arriving in the next week!

(STILL AN ISSUE) One thing that's always bugged me about 1Password is how much it relies on the web addresses having HTTP or HTTPS. I know there is a difference, but most sites these days, the sites are identical and most redirect to the secure version so surely by putting in twitter.com, http://twitter.com or https://twitter.com, that item should be suggested for Twitter? - Recently i've started removing the protocol from URL's, it looks tidier to me and watchtower seems to not complain about them anymore.

(ANSWER PREVIOUSLY GIVEN) I store items in 1Password for family members, friends, and clients. These are logins to accounts that I do not own or have any control over. I'd like a way to be able to mark items that are mine so WatchTower can provide a rating that's accurate for me and not include any insecure stuff (like bad passwords, no 2FA, the account included in a data breach) from other peoples accounts or items. This is the number 1 reason I don't pay much attention to WatchTower:- because it's not focused on just the items I want it to be.

(ANSWER PREVIOUS GIVEN) On the line of a password, you have the "Copy" button and a down arrow to signify more options. With all the horizontal space, surely some of those options in the dropdown could be made into actual buttons in the bar. I really HATE having to click the down arrow button and choose an option. Please just add them as real buttons in the space available and collapse down to the down arrow button when space is at a premium. As the "Copy" option is the primary one in this case, maybe the secondary ones could be slightly smaller in size to visually indicate that but one-click buttons really would improve the UX. - I STILL think something could be done here to improve this but the answer provided makes sense and I value that.

(FIXED!!!) One big dislike (apart from not using Mac native controls) I have about Electron is that the windows / applications tend to resize with a horrible visual glitch on the right and bottom of the windows. This happens also with 1Password 8 beta. Can it be fixed and be smooth and silky? It's like the canvas has expanded but the content within doesn't notice until a slight bit later when it fills in the space. Fixing this would go a long way towards making the window fit in more with other apps (even if the controls are not native.). - I don;t know what you guys did but this is MASSIVELY IMPROVED. Is it just my new MBP or did you guys do something? It's epic!

(STILL AN ISSUE) The new QR code scanner. If using multiple desktops / fullscreen apps or even a multi monitor setup, if the QR code I need to scan is on another desktop / fullscreen app or monitor, it does appear to be able to see the code, let alone scan it. Is it possible for the scanner to be able to find the code in those scenarios?

(STILL AN ISSUE**) When attaching a file to an item, please allow us to drag and drop it into the item rather than having to do it through the file picker. Drag and drop creates a much nicer UX for everyone.

(STILL AN ISSUE**) Why can't fields in an item be dragged around when in edit mode? For example: I just created a new secure note, I added 3 fields but then realised that I wanted a sort of name or identifier for the set of three fields. I created a Section with the name I wanted and then just wanted to move the three fields into that section but wasn't able to. I had to recreate the three fields and delete the old ones. How frustrating! Don't you agree? :)

(STILL AN ISSUE) Just editing an items who's only two fields are "URL" and "password". They are details for an app on my phone. The password is just a 6 character pin code. Everytime I view the item I see the red WatchTower warning me about a Vulnerable Password, there is NOTHING I can do about this. Please give me a way to tell WatchTower "Thanks, I'm aware of this and thank you very much for your kind notification but please f**** off in this one instance." 8-). - I'm aware 1P_Ben answered this above so fingers crossed for a fix on this soon. (or sometime)

(STILL AN ISSUE) In both the item list and the detail view of an item, please add a way to indicate the "category type" of item. Either by way of the type category icons or the icon and name. I am dealing with a "License key" item but nowhere does it tell me it is one?

(NEW COMMENT FROM NEIL) I too wish to join the horde of people asking for Categories to be moved back to the sidebar. It would be much nicer and from the latest beta, do I get the hint it's possibly making a comeback? wink wink.

(NEW COMMENT FROM NEIL) I love the collapsable sidebar shown in the experimental video posted to Twitter. +1 from me on that.

Great work dteare roustem 1P_Ben and the rest of the 1Password team!

These posts are getting rather tricky to write! I hope it is all understandable!
