Favorites in 1Password 8 now showing me everybody's

A big +1 from me, too. We have a family account and our favorites are clashing or canceling each other out, I don't know which — but it's really annoying. This feels like a design flaw; wherever you see Favorites in software it's user-specific. Otherwise, what's the point?

Definitely +1 for the idea that favorites should be specific to individual users. As currently configured, the feature is not particularly useful for group accounts.

In June 2024, Dave_1P provided this information:

The metadata that stores whether an item is favourited exists in the item itself using the faveIndex value:

If an item is favourited then "faveIndex": 1.
If an item isn't favourited then "faveIndex": 0.

I'm not a coder, but would it be possible to overload the existing faveIndex value with a list of the individual userIDs for those who have marked the item as a favorite?

I've shared your request and feedback with the team as well. Thank you!

The Favorites list should show only the items that I've favorited.

If I want to share my favorite items, I'll duplicate/move them into vaults or create links to the favorites.
If someone wants to share their favorites with me, they can duplicate/move their favorites into vaults or create links to their favorites.

+1 on changing to personal favourites

Thanks for the feedback. There isn't an expected release date that the team and I can share. Changing favourites to be per-user rather than per-item is a request that is in our product team's backlog but there are prerequisites that have to be developed first before the team can consider making the change.

The metadata that stores whether an item is favourited exists in the item itself using the faveIndex value:

• If an item is favourited then "faveIndex": 1.
• If an item isn't favourited then "faveIndex": 0.

Each item is responsible for declaring whether it is a favourite or not, this system was developed in a time when sharing items in 1Password wasn't as common as it is now. Before favourites can be made per-user this faveIndex metadata has to be moved out of the item and into a new user-specific layer in the database. Creating this user-specific layer requires some architecture work and, for the moment, this work is yet to be done.

Personally, I'd love to see user-specific favourites and I'll continue to push for the feature internally. And, if I do come across any updates that I can share then I'll make sure to update this thread. 🙂

1P_Dave ,

Thanks for the response.
I understand why you don't want a voting system - it has its benefits but, as you say, it has its downsides too.

But, some more visibility on what is being worked on and approximate expected release dates (not too specific - this shouldn't used as a tool to beat you with!) would be really useful.

Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. I've let the team know that you'd like to see per-user favourites introduced to 1Password.

Also, the 'list' - can we see it? Can we see the suggestions list, and add/upvote requests ourselves?

There isn't a public list but all feedback is considered by our product team. We don't have a public voting system for feature requests since that could give the wrong impression that features are built only based on what has the most "votes" at a given time. Voting systems are also prone to being gamed. Discussions such as this allow us to better understand the need for specific features.

I'm always happy to check and provide an update, if there is any, on any feature requests or bugs that have been filed with the team. 🙂
