Feature Request: HomeKit Pass storage
Loving the 1Password 7 beta. Would love if you could add a category for HomeKit Devices, where we could store the Setup Codes for our devices. Often they are on a sticker on the box of the item itself, which may be in a hard to reach place; this can be a real pain when having to re-add devices.
As an addition, if you could grant 1Password access to your HomeKit configuration, the app could detect what smart home accessories are already connected. From here you can find the correct accessory description which includes the room assigned through HomeKit, then reference your setup label to manually type in the eight-digit code.

@patsfacts: We don't have plans for a dedicated HomeKit category or integration with HomeKit, but you can use Secure Notes and add custom icons and fields to achieve something similar. Or save images of the labels, if you're lazy like me. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

As much money as we spend on supporting 1Password. Maybe it's time to add at least basic support for HomeKit.

@Gadgetman72: 1Password isn't meant to do everything. It's a password manager, and if you have logins for some HomeKit stuff, you can totally use it to store those today. It may be that we branch out more in the future, but if you value it please support us by paying for the features that 1Password has today, not hypothetical future versions. We only want to sell our products based on their actual capabilities. Thanks for understanding. :blush:

I (we) have paid for the features that it has today, yesterday, and past. You want us to pay for a subscription or the high cost of a single license. Just add a simple template... Techie users are fine with manually doing it.. But there are novice users who are not savvy enough to do it... It's just common sense and I understand it is not common to you...

@Gadgetman72: Look, if you want to be rude, you can go somewhere else. You're welcome here, so long as you can adhere to the guidelines:
Forum guidelines
With local vaults, all of the templates are built into the vault format. This would literally require updates of all of the apps, and would break backward compatibility with any versions older than that. I don't think we can justify making a change like that at this stage when literally two people have asked for it.
What we would like to do though is make it possible for users to create custom categories through 1Password.com in the future, as it is more flexible in that regard. That's also more justifiable, as it benefits more people, and we cannot possibly add all of the various categories people request ourselves anyway. But being snotty isn't going to make it happen faster. It would still require that all of the apps support it, and a lot of work to be done there and on the server side. So that's more of a long-term goal.
