So, keep in mind that 1Password works in a "weird way": you are expected to have the native app installed.

The web portion has *less edit capabilities* than the native app. You should have the extension and the native app installed at the same time, the extension should connect to the native app (and share login).

In the native app you can click on one item and then hold shift or control (Windows) to select multiple items, then you literally drag them on the tag on the left. It will feel laggy a few seconds if you tag 1000 items like I did and it might not work perfectly, so double check that all the items got tagged. To do that check, you have to: click on the tag, then scroll to the end. It will tell you the count of all the items for that tag. Repeat the "bulk tagging" until the count is what you expect. Do notice that if you click on one item and then hold shift and click on the item at the end of the list, it will select all of them, so this process is pretty fast. I had to do only 2 tries before all of the items got the tag.

EDIT: You must have added the tag to at least 1 item manually for the tag to show up in the sidebar. To do that just press "edit" on the item and at the bottom there is a "tags" field, you can add one. In the web version, you just type tags and separate them by commas. The native version has a way better control.

Secret about tag: if your tag is named `foo/bar` it will represent them in a tree-like structure in the native app, so `foo` -> `bar`.

WTF

The export process was the thing that mainly held me.

There was also an issue where 1Password would not work properly with a Work Profile on Android if you ALSO had a non-work-profile version of the app, which translated to "if you use 1password at work and in your personal life and you have a Work Profile, you cannot use 1password inside the work profile (it must be outside)"

In the end, this is just a bag of passwords, so as long as it's keeping things safe, it should be acceptable.

It didn't.

And it also doubled the price without giving any software improvement over the years, which is very bad.

I like this design a lot. LastPass _used_ to work like this ages ago.

I did get stuck here for a minute but was able to get it set up. Thank you!
