3 years agoThanks for the reply, but unfortunately none of those really solve the problem.
Having to click the 1Password toolbar icon, select settings, and scroll down to the vault is the thing I'm trying to avoid - there should be no reason to go into the extension settings during day to day work. There's no keyboard shortcut or anything, it's just a weird awkward interaction to make a 'regular' part of a workflow.
The main part of the frustrating is that I don't know the vault is locked. I basically spend 30 seconds or a minute opening the app, opening the extension, restarting my browser, wondering why the password that I know should be there is not showing up. It's frustrating when the auto-fill shortcut just doesn't work in this case, and I'm basically blocked until I remember to check the vault (buried in the extension settings).
The separate browser profile is an interesting suggestion but not really workable with my workflow.
I want very much for things to be how they have been with 1Password for years - one password that unlocks everything, no confusion about what's unlocked or not, clear prompts about when something needs to be unlocked, etc. I know that with the whole 1p8 / cloud account migration that's less feasible, but there must be a better middle ground.
- The 1Password toolbar icon right now shows the
lock
icon when the both vaults are locked - can this show locked when only one is locked? - Whenever I'm asked to unlock one account, have a preference to always prompt to unlock the other, if it is not unlocked.
- If I attempt to autofill and one vault is locked, show the unlocking prompt for it.
- In the 1Password browser form dropdown, have a preference if 1 or more account is locked, show that as an option and make it clickable to unlock.
None of those suggestions/preference options solve the actual problem where one password should unlock everything (which used to be the whole point of this app :) ) but at least they make it crystal clear that the login I'm trying to fill won't appear without additional action, and make performing that action far easier than clicking into the extension submenus.
