> They continue to shift features around, break existing workflows, and even the basic tasks I rely on dozens of times a day seems to change with any significant release.

That shouldn't be a matter of opinion, yet it doesn't match my experience at all. 1Password 7's UI and workflow did not undergo a dramatic change in the past 2-3 years. Not even once. The UI and controls looks and feels the same as ever as it did back in 2018. I'm sure the periodic updates brought new features here and there, but none of those are even remotely close to being a disruptive change.

> If the webpage attached to the original 'save login' prompt is not the one you are on - the auto popup underneath the login field has nothing to show

That's a legitimate security measure. It's making sure that it's autofilling for the right domain. If you want working autofill, you just need to make sure that your password is associated with the right domain.

> I have to go to the Desktop app, search, find, and copy. My team regularly wastes minutes on this each day.

You only need to make an edit once to associate your password with the right domain. But if you can't be bothered, searching and copying the password is a "Cmd + \" away. It takes less than a second.




It's not a security measure because the original comment spoke about how they couldn't even search for the login inside of the autofill icon. I've had that issue too and it's very frustrating. Yes, it makes sense not to show it by default, but to disable any sort of search functionality inside of their new autofill UI is annoying.

Edit: This was not an issue before 1-2 years ago when they pushed massive feature updates. It used to be Ctrl+\ or Cmd+\ to autofill and boom, the login was filled. But NOW they have decided to drop a "1Password X" browser extension that throws itself into every single login item on the web and constantly harasses the user any time they use keyboard shortcuts to navigate. Typing an email address and see your Firefox/Chrome/Safari autofill show up with a dropdown of emails to choose? You can't even use the arrow to go down and choose one; 1Password X will rear its ugly head the minute you hit the arrow down, and it'll either prompt you to autofill something or save what you just typed into 1P.


I can start searching for passwords by either

* invoking the "Cmd + \" shortcut

* clicking on the browser extension button

* clicking on the icon in the system menu bar

None of those introduce meaningful speed bumps.
