Quality of life issues with 1Password 8

Hi EarthAura, thanks so much for your kind words and detailed feedback here, apologies for the late reply. I'll do my best to tackle things in the order presented. 🙂

1. To action the currently selected option in an item's submenu in Quick Access, you can press return on your keyboard. The shortcuts listed there can also be used without entering this submenu!

We have an open feature request to bring more fields to Quick Access, I can certainly understand how that would be useful and will add a vote on your behalf.

From some testing, Quick Access hangs onto the last text entered for about 30 seconds, but if you're noticing scenarios where that isn't the case, I'd be happy to get more details so we can investigate further.

Likewise, I've shared your feedback about how Quick Access responds to users typing non-shortcut keys, I also suspect the keys to jump to menu items isn't widely used. In the meantime, pressing tab or esc from that submenu will get you back to the input line so you can start a new search.

2. I'd like to see both of these implemented as well! Internal tracking is ongoing so I'll add your voice and hope to have good news to share in the future. 👍🏻

3. Let me know if I've misunderstood this one, but is the ultimate goal to be able to edit an item using the keyboard after it's been opened from Quick Access? If so, I recommend trying the command + E shortcut in the main 1Password app after the particular item has been opened.

4. To confirm, is this via the 1Password Apple Watch app? We updated this recently so I'd start by making sure yours is up to date and set up to your preferences: Use 1Password on your Apple Watch

Let me know if the issue persists and we can do some additional troubleshooting.

5. Interesting observations here, I appreciate the effort you've put into testing these and sharing the details. When integration between the app and browser extension is enabled, creating new items in the browser extension via the blue + New Item button routes you to the app where a default vault can't currently be selected and thus places this new item in the currently open or last used vault. I recommend creating new items by using the inline menus instead. This could be the Save in 1Password option or clicking the suggested generated passwords. Both will trigger a new window where you can edit your details before saving.

Collections have not yet made it into the 1Password browser extension, but you can adjust which accounts and vaults appear by opening the browser extension Settings > Accounts & Vaults on the left side and unchecking the vaults you wouldn't like included.

I can see how together these could make for an inconsistent experience and I'll bring this up internally as well. I can't share any specifics at the moment, but I hope we can both look forward to more flexibility in choosing a default vault on more 1Password platforms.

Let me know how these workarounds go, or if you have any questions along the way. Thanks again for all your valuable feedback, I'm looking forward to your reply! 😊
