Quick Access and resizing windows
This discussion was created from comments split from: Now that 1password 8 for Mac is released. What would happen to version 7?.
Granted, I'm an "old-school" user of 1Password from the early days of it being around, so I'm sure I have ways of using the app that are outdated and there might be "better ways", but I had a visceral negative reaction to interacting with it. And this was after listening to all sorts of podcasters saying how well it worked for them (Jason Snell, Stephen Hacket, ATP guys, and so on...). I'm aware of and have opinions about Electron vs a native Mac app. But if it works well, okay... Some of the feedback will be tricky as I've already moved back to v7.9.4 and won't be able to recreate or screenshot it for you.
When I'm just in the Finder and I click on 1P in the finder menu bar, I have it set to show me my favorites. I'm constantly needing to grab my Apple ID password for some OS-level thing or a Teams login for work (seemingly every 30 sec) and it's faster/simpler to just have them there a single click away vs some number of keystrokes. I'm aware that v8 can fill passwords straight into apps, and I didn't really make it that far to test that it would figure out every esoteric instance of a modal request for a password, but this is a fundamental change to my expected behavior of the app. Not having a preference setting for what it displays by default is a loss for me.
The Quick Access menu did not allow me to resize it. I tried every corner and it was very resolute in its size. In v7.9.4, even though it doesn't hold the window size between restarts of the computer (why?), it does hold it once I set it.. and allows me to set the size. I enlarge the Quick Access window because I want to see both my username and password unobstructed. Sometimes there's an additional warning about a duplicate password (which it's not, it's just my same work password that's used in two different portals).
I'll continue to answer whatever questions you have... happy to help. If there's an upside, I was happy at how relatively easy it was to roll back to 7.9.4 (the Safari extension took some convincing and a reboot to kill the new one and restore the old one).
