The Futility of Pleasing All Users
This is a fine idea, but when I upgraded, I was surprised to find that the new “All Vaults” view is the default view. Even when I selected a specific vault as my preferred view, the next time I launch 1Password from my browser it would revert to the “All Vaults” view. I found this very irritating. This change struck me as wrongheaded—it flies right in the face of how I use vaults, as I prefer to keep each group of passwords segregated from the others.
That was my reaction as well.

I have three vaults: Personal, Makalu and Archives. I use Archives instead of trashing entries, just in case I might need them again some day. I appreciate that All Vaults allows me to search Personal and Makalu together, but I hate that Archives is included as well. My preference would be to have the ability to exclude vaults from the "All Vaults" view.
Do I have a vault? If i am searching for a password I don't want to care about different places... The computer should support me in searching, not asking me questions where to search. Indeed, different people, different kind of use...
@Matt That’s a good idea for handling old entries. Right now I am leaving them in the main vault but tagging them and marking them not to show up in the browser.
Also, from the latest beta:
We added a preference that allows you to control which vault is opened when you unlock the app.
