How to set a SHARED vault as the default vault for all new LOGIN entries to 1Password?

I have a Personal vault and a shared Vault (shared with my wife). I want to have ALL new LOGIN entries in 1Password entered into our SHARED vault. I cannot find a way to do this and every new entry seems to, by default, be entered into my Personal vault. I discover this only later when I can't find a new entry in our Shared vault and have to manually move the new entry to our Shared vault. How can I have all new LOGIN entries automatically default to our shared vault. Is there a pref. setting that I simply can't find?


1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: 2.3.8
OS Version: 12.6
Browser:_ Firefox

    And, are there any "Settings" on the 1P mobile app? I can't find them... oops, just found them "buried" under the odd icon in the upper left corner. I will add that there was nothing about that icon (in my view) to suggest it contains access to anything. I suggest that icon could be vastly improved so its purpose is more obvious to the user.

    Tommy, any further suggestions on this?

    I already had my browser 1P setting set to save to our shared Vault. What baffles me is that generally (like 99% of the time) I create new logins from my browser, not from the app. Only seldom do I create a new login account from the app. Yet, I constantly find new entries in my Personal vault.

    This is not possible at this time within the Mac app, as in a manually created item. You can however set 1Password in the browser to save logins to your desired location.

    1. Right-click on the toolbar icon and select settings.

    1. In general select your desired save vault.
