Feature Request: Show Original Contributor of Items in Shared Family Vaults
Summary Please add a built-in way to display who originally created or contributed an item to a shared vault in 1Password Family. Problem In shared family vaults, it is currently not possible to see who an item originally belongs to once it has been shared. This makes it unclear who owns a specific account, even though the item is visible to everyone in the family. As a workaround, we manually add tags with the name of the person who created or contributed the item. This allows sorting and filtering by owner, but it is manual, error-prone, and easy to forget. Proposed Feature Display non-editable metadata such as: “Contributed by: Name” or “Original owner: Name” This information should remain visible in the item details after sharing or moving an item into a shared family vault. Benefit This makes it easy to understand who an account actually belongs to, even when it is shared for convenience. It improves clarity in family vaults, avoids confusion, and removes the need for manual tagging. Reference Apple Passwords already shows this information for shared items using labels like “Contributed by: Name”, which provides clear ownership at a glance.
Merging Duplicates
I know that the general response is to manually do this, but doing this with 1000+ objects is impractical to say the least. Some were created because when I migrated to 1Password, some duplicate/corrupt entries already existed in my profiles on Avast, Google, etc, which I did not notice at the time. Unfortunately, some have been created since then by either less tech-savvy family members on their own accounts or how 1Password is asking more often regarding site/app trust & permissions ("Allow fill once") and is thus creating duplicates of its own accord. The fact that merging wasn't already added a while back, considering how many people have asked about it over the years, is interesting to say the least. And yes, I have been attempting to create my own tool for quite some time, but it is difficult to find time to work on it lately, on top of not being successful in general.
Has the iOS 26 passkey autofill UI changed?
I used to have a 1-click passkey autofill experience on iOS. Now the system defaults to "Scan a QR Code". I have to select 1Password from "Other accounts", press continue, authenticate, and then select the passkey from the 1Password UI. Did something change recently? How can I go back to the more seamless experience I remember? Something like the second image?Default user for site?
I have usernames and passwords for several people in my family (Kids and parents!!) for a particular site. Is there a way to set one of them (mine!!) as the default since 99% of the time I don't use one of the other usernames. I use a Mac and Safari as my browser, in case that makes a difference! TIA!
Issues with unlocking, filling and saving passwords
I started using 1Password about 15 years ago when it was exclusively an OS X app. I remember 1Password being very reliable (I had very few, if any, issues with it), which is why I kept using it over the years and ultimately implemented 1Password for Business it when I became an IT administrator. However, ever since 1Password transitioned into a subscription-based model (I think this also coincided with them moving away from native apps and to cross-platform Electron development), 1Password has been an unreliable mess. I kept expecting AgileBits to iron out the issues, that things would eventually get better, but they just haven't. It's been about 3 years now and I still constantly have problems with basic functionality. I have 1Password installed on 35 Windows 11 machines at work which I manage (many of which are less than a year old), I have it installed on iOS and Android devices (both personally and work), and I have it installed on my personal MacOS devices. Recently, I got a brand new M3 MacBook Pro, which I thought for sure would be the ideal scenario for 1Password since I kept it on a clean install (no Time Machine Migration) and it's even been unreliable on there. It was honestly flabbergasting and felt like the last straw for me. Here is a list of the kinds of things I'm talking about which happen constantly: 1Password simply doesn't appear on the password fields to autofill until I refresh the page again or sometimes have to restart the browser. 1Password is unlocked but it still appears to be locked when it appears next to fields in the current webpage until I restart the browser. 1Password unlocks in one place but not the other. I use the password generation button to update a password for an existing login only to have 1Password fail to offer to update the login info as I intended. I generate a password for a new login and 1Password fails to offer to save the new login information, forcing me to fish out the generated password in the most unintuitive way imaginable because it's buried under 3 different menus and turning that into a new login manually. These kinds of things (among others) happen constantly both to me and my users and I'm honestly starting to get to my wits end here. Can anybody help me understand why these things are happening, why 1Password hasn't fixed this, and whether this will eventually get back to the kind of reliability that I grew to expect with the native Mac OS app I started using so many years ago? Is Electron just so inherently bad that 1Password will simply never get to the point that it used to be? Do I just need to switch to another password manager?
High background usage on iOS 26
Ever since I got my new iPhone 17 I'm seeing daily hours and hours of background activity from 1password, and it seems more people are suffering from the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1o6g8fu/high_1password_background_activity_ios_26/ Just yesterday, 1password ran for 7 hours in the background and use 6% of my total battery, with just 1 minute of actual screen time. Today it was 6% on 3 hours of background time, again with no screen time. I'm using 8.11.14. I have also tried disabling background refresh and the safari extension as some people on Reddit suggested, to no help at all. And no, I'm not setting up 1password anywhere else, this is happening for weeks now. Is this being investigated by the 1Password team at all? I haven't seen anything. If it continues it will surely encourage me to start the painful migration to somewhere else. I have tried emailling support but got no answer. On Reddit everyone is lost.
