Web Launcher Feature
Hello I am very satisfied of the 1Password solution that I use for many years. One thing, I think that is missing from my point of view is a kind of web launcher or a better integration with the web ...
Finally, I found a very satisfying solution by using Chrome to launch my web applications as applications on MacOS. In Chrome, when you are on your web application on Chrome, you click on 3dots > Cast, Save and Share > Install page as app and then type a name for your app. Then a new app will be created in the launchPad. This new app will be launch in a separated window like any app installed on your laptop. Of course, this has nothing to do with integrating this to 1P but I like the way you can define and quickly use your web app or your app from the LaunchPad. I am working to a way to integrate both the 1P definitions and the Chrome Web App into one definition using CLI.
smartboy I recommend you don't start your browsing from within 1Password. Instead, use the favorites/bookmark function of your browser. Add every website you visit to the browser favorites, no matter if they require a login or not, and ignore 1Password favorites. Make sure you have the browser extension installed.
Now start browsing by choosing the website from the browser favorites. If the website happens to require a login, 1Password will automatically offer autofill for exactly that login and you just have to click once to perform the autofill. Instead of switching between apps, 1Password is just assisting in a very non intrusive way.
This way you don't need to search anything - all you need to do is using your browser favorites. There is also no need to switch between apps or between browser and browser plugin dialog windows - everything is happening implicitly within the website login. Browsers usually have a better way to present favorites to you - you can pin items to some favorites toolbar, and you can organize your favorites in a hierarchical way, so if you're the organized type, you can navigate fast to your item instead of searching.
In 1Password, I don't mirror the bookmark organization I use in the browser. In 1Password, I have every login I ever created, but in the browser bookmarks, I only have the websites I frequently visit. So in my browser bookmarks, I have a somewhat flat group organization. In 1Password, I organize my items with about 25 tags. In my browser startpage organization for which I use an extension called Speed Dial 2 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speed-dial-2-new-tab/jpfpebmajhhopeonhlcgidhclcccjcik which is probably similar to your extension, I have 5 groups with each about 10 items only.
I also have a gigantic hiearchical bookmark tree in my browser where I file every website I visit more than twice, but that's a heap with mostly outdated links I use only seldom.
