Unlock all / Search all vaults by default (where to vote on this feature?)
I recall seeing a similar question a while back, but I can't seem to find it now. Could anyone point me to adding a vote for this feature if there's a place for it?
In case there isn't anymore, I'...

ModeratorHello @0x2a! 👋
I'm sorry that 1Password is causing friction as you and your students perform your important work, I understand the frustration. You can unlock all accounts at the same time by using the same account password for each account, we have a guide here: How to use multiple accounts
The reason why 1Password requires that you unlock each account separately is because each account is encrypted using it's own secret: your account password. If you're using different account passwords for different accounts, or different authentication providers, then you'll need to provide each secret separately.
If you use Touch ID to unlock 1Password then 1Password is able to store the secrets securely in the Secure Enclave (a hardware component on your Mac) so that all accounts can be unlocked at the same time once you provide your fingerprint: Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your Mac
That being said, I agree that 1Password can do a better job letting folks know that some accounts are still locked. This is something that our product and design teams are looking into and hopefully improvements can be made in future updates so that we can avoid the sort of productivity loss, and increased cognitive load, that you've described in your post. I've passed your feedback along internally to the teams looking into this.
Thank you for helping us make 1Password better. 💙
