Hi Thomas,

What you are describing sounds like you have the Recents filter selected. When viewing only recents, only the most recent 20 records you have used will be displayed. When I say "used," I mean that you have tapped on a field to copy data to the clipboard, edited the record, created a new record, or just interacted with the data you have stored in the record in some way.

First, are you sure that "All Records" in the left column is selected? If it is, the row in the left column will be highlighted with a different background color than the other rows. Also, if the Recents filter is selected, you'll not only see that row highlighted in the left column, but you should see the word "Recents" at the top of the record list in the middle column.

I believe I have mentioned this to you before, but documentation for mSecure 6 has not been created for the beta phase of testing. It will be created for the public release, but I'm the only resource for information on the beta versions until that documentation is created =)

Hi Thomas,

The icons at the top of the main view of the iOS version are the same filters you see at the top of the list of filters in the left column of the Mac app. The function the same way, except that on iOS, you can long-tap on the icon, and then select a different record template to set for filtering your records (the All Records filter to the far left can't be changed). They start out as Recents, Login Records, Credit Cards, and Secure Notes, just like you see in the Mac version.

With regards to the functionality, what you are describing happening in the Mac version is not intended behavior. When you click "All Records," you should see all of your records. If you click "Login Records," you should see all of your records using the Login template. For "Recents," you will see the 20 most recently used records. What you are experiencing is not a known bug, but it may be a bug in the beta version of the app. The trick is trying to figure out how the app got into that state. Real quick, I'm sure you've tried this, but what happens if you force close the app and then open it again. Do you only see 20 records when click "All Records" in the left column? Also, scroll the list of records all the way to the top. If the "Recents" filter is active, you'll see the word "Recents" at the top of the middle column above the all of the records.

With regards to being able to revert back to mSecure 5, I can help you do that, but it's not possible to use the same account in both mSecure 5 and mSecure 6. If other apps are doing that, I'm not exactly sure how they're pulling that off if/when the database of information is not compatible with the previous versions of the app. I'm definitely not saying that isn't possible, or that it shouldn't be done, but I'm not sure how they're doing it. At this time, our beta test groups are small enough that it's not difficult to take a more personal approach in helping with the reverting process, so we go that route. Also, as an alternative, it wouldn't be difficult at all to simply create an account for beta testing and keep the main account with mSecure 5 signed in to it. In that scenario, however, the data in mSecure 6 would not be able to sync with the data in mSecure 5, because that will never be possible. You would simply be maintaining two different sets of data in that case.

You mentioned not be totally impressed with the Mac beta version. I would welcome your feedback on what you thought was missing or not working as you think it should. Some things can be changed, and others can't, but the feedback is good not only for current but also for future development. Also, I know you came from 1Password, and comparisons with that app are certainly justified and helpful, but we aren't always able to nor do we always want mSecure to follow the features they implement.

Also, thank you very much for being as vocal as you have been in the beta testing Thomas! It's always so good to hear what customers think of the app.

@Colin Thank you for your post! One of the reasons we're changing over to subscriptions is to be able to release more features in regular intervals. If you haven't had a chance to take a look at our roadmap from the upcoming year, you can find it here: https://www.msecure.com/roadmap-of-upcoming-features-in-msecure/
