There are a few threads related to saving, and I wasn't sure which to jump in to, but I wanted to share a few of the ways we've tried to make saving better in the newer extension.
First of all, we have a new "Generator History" section, which contains passwords created by the generator. These are always available if you need them, but don't show up alongside other items, so are less important to clean up.
We've also been working on a brand new saving experience which is currently in beta. If we miss a field from the page, you can add it before you save. You can also add tags, and when updating items, see a side by side diff of the changes. There's a screenshot here if you're curious: https://twitter.com/oliverdunk_/status/1382302050369875969?s...
It sounds like you have a subscription so if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to give the new extension a try. I totally understand that native app integration might be a requirement for you there, and I'm sorry that it felt like you were getting mixed messaging. Really both things are true - we don't have a timeline for this, since it's a big bit of work and we want to get it right. Support are absolutely correct too though - we're actively working on this, and the integration with 1Password for Linux's beta is the first step, with support for other operating systems very much on our mind.
What a great idea. I'd suggest enlarging your appeal though by branding it as a sort of log. People could track projects, write what they've learned about a particular skill etc. rather than focusing on journals only.
