4 years agoOpening 1Password Web UI from 1Password extension
When I want to open the 1Password web UI, the easiest way I've found is to:
1. Open the extension

3 years agoHi @Jay_1P! Thanks for the response.
Yes, I have discovered the 1Password app - it does make editing logins a bit easier. But sometimes I don't have the app installed, so I would like to use the web UI to organize my logins.
The difference isn't the amount of clicks. It is the latency in loading "my.1password.com". In other words:
- I type "my.1password.com", which takes time (even with browser autofill).
- I need to wait for the page to load. Then I click login.
- I then need to wait for the vaults to load... I click on a vault
- I need to wait for the specific vault to load
Whereas, if I do the following:
- Click on the extension (fast!)
- Edit any random login (fast!)
- I need to wait for the specific vault to load (common to the above)
- Cancel the edit (very annoying)
I am able to get to my logins in significantly faster time than if I was to open the my.1password.com app. This is because editing a login in the extension automatically "logs me in".
Even with the "auto-lock" function set at 10 minutes, the 1Password web UI automatically logs me out if I type "my.1password.com" in the URL, so the first method is incredibly slow.
My request is therefore, if you don't have the app installed, given that you already log me in automatically when I edit a login, couldn't you just make it so that there is a button to just open the web UI? This lets me bypass step 4 ("cancel the edit").
I understand that this is saving mere seconds, and that installing the app does significantly reduce the time, but from observing other users of 1Password - they all do the same thing and abuse the EDIT button as a "go to 1password" button!!!!
