3 years agoWhat happened to double click opening and filling the web address
It's not the end of the world, but it was quite convenient to be able to open a website login page and autofill the use credentials by double clicking on a login.
That functionality now requires Command+Shift+F, which is not as simple and is not really intuitive (why "F"?).
Double clicking to open the item doesn't seem to add anything (but does make sense in Apple navigation terms) - but the functionality change is a pain and there could have been a simpler shortcut.
Why make the change?
1Password Version: 8.7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.3.1

There is profoundly LESS utility in having the item open in a separate window on double-click rather than "open/fill". Both should have a key-stroke option, but to have a control-click contextual menu operation as the only way to open/fill tells me that those who are making "improvements" to upgraded versions don't actually use the software.

I agree fully on this. why can double click not open the first URL. And right click for the second window . At least something in preferences. I agree I really hate when developers remove features that make sense and I have not read anything on forum explaining why they did what they did. Please put this back. When you create major updates at lease should post the "before you upgrade we removed this...." Extra features, awesome, removing good feathers. thumbs down. but I still love the product and have been long long time user.

This is just one of several things I do not like the upgrade. My wife still uses the previous version and I advised her not to upgrade. I wish I could change back on my Mac.

I agree, please bring back this option.

I miss the simple double-click method of open and fill. this makes version 8 a downgrade from version 7 for me. thanks for giving us work-arounds, but they simply confirm that version 8 is a worse experience for me.

Came here to comment on this as well. With the new v8, I lost THE easiest and most highly used way to open an website and autofill. If I single-click an entry, it populates the information in the right panel. If I now double-click an entry, it opens a pop-up window with the same information. I don't know why that's needed or useful, or why someone thought that a better use of double-click? My primary need is to open the website and log in. Double-clicking the login allowed me to do that easily. Now I have to click..move my mouse up and over to the website URL...click again. Please put it back to double-clicking or making it an option to configure.

@ag_Gabriele In your comments from May you acknowledged that this functionality was missing/limited. And apparently no one at 1PW had realized this before releasing 1PW8.
When can we expect improvements?
