Password complexity for this community
I was very disappointed when I logged into this new community for the first time. The password is overly complex. Your own best practices recommend password length over password complexity. See the two article below: https://blog.1password.com/how-long-should-my-passwords-be/#how-important-is-password-complexity https://blog.1password.com/nist-password-guidelines-update/ You would have been much better off just requiring a minimum length (of say 24 characters) and removing all the complexity. You should do better to reinforce the your stated best practices in your own systems.
New Forum feedback
At the moment I prefer the old forum. It was much more logically structured and easier to find stuff on and just browse topics. Maybe I just need to learn it more, but if something needs learning, then it's not intuitive. I would like the option to replace the infinite scroll pages (which you still need to click a button to show more), with standard pagination. Pagination shows up in your browser history, which makes it possible to jump to a specific page of posts you've previously visited. If you lose your place in these infinite scroll pages, you have to click Show More and scroll to the bottom and repeat, over and over again. Why? It's much more tedious than just jumping to a page in your browser history with one click. On the main Discussions index page there's no introduction to each of the 4 main sections to tell you what is in them. Lounge? What's that for? What type of posts should go in there? Same with Device Trust - what is it? Password Manager should be obvious, but it could mention that all flavours of 1Password are discussed in there (mobile, desktop, browser extension, Mac, Windows, Linux etc.). I would guess a lot of people have no idea what Passage is, and from this page they still wouldn't. Under these 4 main topic areas there needs to be direct links to sub-sections, so for example, you can go directly to the iOS posts in the Password Manager section, rather than having to click Password Manager and then the IOS tag in the Categories box in the side panel. I've no idea what Device Trust is! Even the Welcome to the Device Trust forum post doesn't say what it is or what you should ask in there. There needs to be more sub-categories in the Betas section. All betas, for all operating systems, for mobile, desktop and browser are lumped together with no way to filter. How do I find posts about only the Mac Chrome Beta browser extension? I can't. Why do the URLs not match up with the Breadcrumbs at the top of the page? For example, If you go into the Discussions > Lounge section, the URL is: www.1password.community/category/discuss/discussions/lounge - what are the extra red bits for? Also, the URLs for Resources and Champions are /connect/ and /advocacy/ - more inconsistency. Why is the Password Manager section not called 1Password, as that is the name of the product across all platforms that people will recognise? Inconsistently, it is called 1Password in the URL for this section! www.1password.community/category/discuss/discussions/1password When you click into an individual post or tag, the sidebar disappears so you can't navigate directly to another tag without having to retrace your steps. Why does the Discussions item in the menu bar have a drop-down with its 4 main sub-sections listed, but the Groups item doesn't? And why are 1Password Administrators and 1Password SDKs designated as groups and not discussions? They appear identical in functionality and UI once you click through. That's most of the things I've noticed so far. Overall I think it's been launched too early. There's too many inconsistencies and illogical UX decisions. Because you've launched it in this state, search engines will be indexing the current content under it's current broken and inconsistent URL structure making it difficult to fix without lots of broken links (or lots of redirects).
No longer using email to login???
This is the first time I have logged into the new community site. Up until now I had been logging into the community using my email address but it turns out that now the community login uses a username that I did not have captured in 1Password. I eventually realized that my emails from 1Password addressed me using the first four characters of my email address, and it turns out this was my username. When folks are logging into the new forum it might be nice to tell them how to find their username and not to try to login using their email address. Also is their any way to change my username? What 1Password created for me is not what I would have created.
Champions can't form below but can be docs'd by Google and slapped five
Mixing site feedback with everything else in a "Lounge" seems less than ideal, but since there is no other practical feedback mechanism, here it is. On the Champions page, step one - Sign up - says to "Fill out the form below". There is much below, but no form. Above is a "Become a Champion" pill which links to a Google Docs form, which may not be a favourite choice for privacy-minded folks. Lower down is another pill for the Spotlight Q&A linked to another form, this one hosted at slapfive.slapfive.com by a Customer Marketing Platform with a privacy policy which those privacy-minded folks might not like if they make it past the definition of Country as "Massachusetts, United States".
