    1Password tags

    Tags

    Tags allow you to organize your 1Password items in a way that fits how you work. You can apply multiple tags to any item in your Vault, including Logins, Accounts, Identities, Secure Notes, Software, and Wallet. Each item can have multiple tags, so you could tag a Twitter Login item with both “work” and “social media,” and it would appear in a search for both terms.

    One of the perks of tags is that 1Password 3 automatically generates a folder for each tag you create. These tag folders are created as sub-folders of a main “Tags” folder so they do not clutter up your sidebar if you prefer not to use them. Whenever you tag an item, it gets automatically added to any and all tag folders based on those tags. If you use multiple tags, an item will appear in multiple folders automatically. This tag and folder integration can save you a lot tedious organization work, and perhaps even replace your system of manually creating regular folders and dragging items into them.

    TagFolders

    Once you have created a few tag folders, you can speed up your tagging by selecting multiple items, then dragging and dropping them onto a tag folder. This will apply that folder’s tag to every item you dropped.

    In a future 1Password 3 update, you will be able to create Smart Folders which will harness tags for even more organizational power. You will be able to search for specific terms and/or multiple tags,
