Feature Request: Folder organization
Bring back organize passwords into folders. The system with tags and collections is absolutely terrible. This might work well when you have 10 passwords, but I have more than 1k. Every time I need to...
I understand how work vaults and collections, but I don't feel comfortable creating a separate store for each case. In addition, soon a large number of them will accumulate and this will turn into an even bigger nightmare.
Categories don't solve the problem because they show a flat list of ALL items. For example, when accessing a database, I first need to find the ssh password, after authorization, I need to find the database password. Every time I have to select a category and look for the server I need in a long list. Seriously?
Tags in 1Password have a hierarchy. Why? A tag is a keyword or term assigned to a piece of information. It should not be nested. Ok, you made a hierarchy for tags, but why the hell can't they be collapsed in this case? Instead of a neat, hierarchical folder structure, I have a long sausage of hundreds of unorganized items.
When I add a new item, instead of putting it in one folder, I need to remember exactly what storage I need to put it in and what tags to add so that there is a chance that I will find it someday.
Same with search. I may not remember exactly what an element is called, but I know which group it belongs to, and in the case of a hierarchy, I can quickly find what I need. But if I use tags and I need the password for the "Name" company server, I will select the "Name" tag and get a list of a large number of items associated with the company, servers, databases, mailboxes, website accounts, etc.
I honestly don’t understand why it was necessary to abandon folders and also remove the functionality of smart folders. For what?
