Can I rename the 'Private' vault with 1Password 7?
As I said: Can I rename the "Private" vault with 1Password 7, eg. to "Myname"? I am just asking to be sure before attempting it.
1Password Version: 7.0.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 10.13.5
Sync Type: Account

Thank you Lars. Thats what I know from 1PW6. I just had the impression that I had read somewhere that with 1PW7 I could now edit any vaults nam. And, right clicking > 'Edit vault' brings me to a window where I would be able to edit the name of the private vault (didn't try it yet, however ...) Just wondering.

@iCoco - huh! I guess you can rename them, only in 1Password for Mac, however. The vault's name will not change on the server (if you view it through 1password.com in a browser), and I don't think that will carry over to other installations; it's a local-only option that you'll see only in 1Password 7 for Mac.

iCoco,
This is a bug and will be remedied shortly.

Thank you for making this clear. So I guess right now it’s better to stay away from renaming the „private“ vault ... even though it might make a lot of sense to do so.

@iCoco - yup. I wasn't even aware this was possible, since I know it's NOT possible on the 1password.com servers. Although this wouldn't have been the first time we had Mac-specific features that were only available when viewing your data/vaults in 1Password for Mac (like Smart Folders in the past), it looks like this will be getting removed soon, so I'd avoid renaming your default vaults. Thanks for the question! :)

It isn't intentional that it can be renamed currently, so changing it is buggy since it is unintended and unsupported in the apps. I do hope we'll be able to add that feature in the future, but there are also good reasons for leaving it as is. Just changing "Personal" to "Private" for group accounts years ago has caused enough confusion.

I just ran into a problem that must be related to this. I have a vault named "Archive" in 1Password for Mac, which is named "Private" when I log into 1Password.com. How can this be? I must have renamed it when this bug was active since I can't change the name on either of them now.

As far as I'm aware the only way to go back to the default naming at this point (where the built-in vaults cannot be renamed, by design) would be to sign up for a new membership and migrate everything over. If you'd like do that, we can certainly help you do so, but personally I don't think I'd want to go through the effort if I were in your shoes.

I just wanted to ask if it's still not possible to rename the default vault "Private"? I want to organize all of my accounts in different vaults that match to their intention so I want to change the name of my private vault to e.g. my name if this would be possible?

Yeah!!

Hi all,
It isn't possible to change the name of the 'Private' vault, but you could create a separate vault with whatever name you'd like, and then change your All Vaults settings to remove the 'Private' vault from All Vaults and set the new vault as your default vault for saving.

Thanks for sharing this idea, Ben.
For now, I have chosen avatar pics that help to distinguish vaults at a glance.
