3 years agoHow to change the Category assigned to a record
I like the way 1Password has expanded the Categories available. I also like that when setting up new records, one can choose and existing Category "template". To make using easier, I'd like to change the Category for an existing record from one Category to another without changing the data structure that exists. Is that possible please?

All the entries I imported from KeePassXC are in the Login category. How do I change the category to "Credit Card"?

(Especially from "Secure Note" to any other category. Just put the note contents in the Categories notes field.) - ag_mike_d

Hello iherman and @mopperle,
Thanks so much for your feedback and kind words! I've passed votes for this feature to change the category type along to the Product team.
iherman - with regard to your additional comments about that long-requested feature of creating custom items or categories, I've included a vote on your behalf in the request we're tracking.
Happy New Year!

+1, especially when you move away from another PWM like LastPass

Please, add my +1 vote to the feature request as well. I understand that the default fields are different per category, and it is actually very helpful to have those when creating a new item. But once the item is in the vault, one may want to change its category for whatever reason (a mistake was committed when creating the item, new categories have been introduced by 1Password in the meantime😀, etc). The current approach to create a new item and make a copy-paste is not a sustainable approach if one's vault is large (which is in my case!).
There is also a related and, I believe, also long requested feature, namely the ability to create one's own category. As far as I am concerned, 1P has become more than just a password holder application; despite its name, it is the best simple database system around that is user friendly, works on tons of systems, is encrypted, etc.. (E.g., I use it to hold, in a separate vault, the basic biblio data of all my books.) I would love to have my own category for these, beyond the generic 'secure note' that I use now...
Thanks for your great work @AshBee, AliH1P. Your product is great and has become a fundamental tool for me.
And a happy new year for everyone!

This feature to be able to recategorise current entries would be much appreciated.
More than 400 entries would mean having to recreate each entry to tidy up my database.
