How to change the Category assigned to a record

Welcome to 1Password! I've passed along your early feedback to the team, let me know if you run into any other issues that the team can improve. 🙂

1P_Gem, 1P_Dave, and the rest of the support team, I don’t envy your position. It seems to me you’re tasked with making sure community members feel heard, but with no response from your Product Team, I for one don’t feel heard at all.

I certainly don’t expect your software developers to “sit up and take notice,” if you will, because a few 1Password users ask for a feature. That’s not reasonable.

It’s just as unreasonable, though, for silence to be the only response.

If the Product Team feels the concerns expressed in this thread don’t need to be on your roadmap, then please tell us that. We’re all big enough people to deal with such a decision. But saying nothing—well, no one likes being ignored.

I mean no disrespect to you, 1P_Gem and 1P_Dave. But being told nothing but “we hear you” and “we’ll let the Product Team know”—to be honest, it’s beginning to feel disrespectful to me, and perhaps to other community members.

Please tell your Product Team that we’d all like to know if they ever plan to work on our feature request or not.

As a small child, I learned early on that, when my dad said, “We’ll see,” it most likely meant no.

Please don’t treat us like children who don’t deserve a reasonable explanation.

I apologize for the rant, but I’m pretty frustrated right now.

I just moved from LastPass and I'm surprised that some of these basic things (e.g. change categories, tag order) are missing from 1P. I've only been using 1P for about a week and haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but I'm afraid of what other missing features I'm going to run across.

Hi. I'm not going to repeat all that's already been said, except that, although being a newcomer to this 1Password community, I am too very interested in this category change feature. It would be simply great.

Thanks again for the feedback, I've passed it along to the team. 🙂

I agree with everyone. I am a software engineer and this change is not difficult as long as you don't get buried in self inflicted requirements. Also, keep it simple, you really don't have to have maps and all that crap. I just converted 6 records by hand and the whole time I am thinking, "If they could change the category and bring in the new labels, I could do the rest. If your curious how, and if you have a software engineer, shoot me an email and I will tell you how.

Hi wyberto, thanks for letting us know this is something you'd like to see as well! I've gone ahead and filed your feedback with our Product team.

Hi greggsewell1, thanks for checking back in with us about this! I don't have any news I'm able to share about this feature just yet. However I can definitely understand where you're coming from, and I've added a note including what you've said here to your +1 for our Product team to see when considering and prioritising upcoming changes and new features.

I added my +1 for this feature almost a year ago, in May of 2023. Today I got an email saying someone else voted for this feature. This prompted me to read through the whole thread again for context.

My question now is: Given how many people want this, why isn't it on the roadmap? What's more important?

I understand that spiffy new features make headlines and attract new users, and senior management tends to prioritize that over under-the-hood improvements.

But I argue that non-sexy infrastructure- type things like reassigning categories are easily featured as a draw for new customers.

"Now 1Password is even easier to use! Reassign categories at will to make 1Password serve you even better!"

Hey, I'm not on the dev or marketing teams, and I don't own the company. I'm just an end user who wants the software to make things easier for me.

And that seems worth doing and worth shouting about.

As always, thanks for reading all the way to the end of this!

Please add me as a +1 for the ability to convert an existing record to a new category.
Thank you.
