I don't want the people around me to know that I'm using 1Password, such as colleagues and friends who accidentally see my device's screen, as well as my girlfriend. If my girlfriend knows that all my passwords are stored in 1Password, she will definitely force me to tell her 1Password account password, and I won't be able to refuse. The best security measure is not layers of encryption, but rather to prevent others from even knowing its existence in the first place. In this regard, 1Password is not as good as Bitwarden. Most people have no idea what Bitwarden is for, but it's immediately obvious what 1Password is. 1Password would be much safer and useful if it allow users to customize the app's name and icon (as well as desktop software and browser extension). Telegram already allows users to customize the app icon, so technically it shouldn't be a problem. If this feature can be implemented, I will be a 1Password subscriber forever.

As you tagged this with iOS you might want to investigate into their recent versions 'hide' and/or 'require re-auth' for apps. Though eventually if you're not capable of resisting her charms, I doubt a funny icon would help. Also security-through-obscurity is most probably not the best scenario at any rate, there ar sufficient examples of this :)
Also changing the icon is possible, though I doubt you can change the app name?
But changing it to match your preference definitely should be an neat advantage - multiple apps allow this (for instance to even better match color schemes).

I use an Android device, and there is also an option to hide apps. However, this will make it inconvenient for me to use them as well. I can only access the App through the app list in the settings. If this solution is feasible, it will be very worthwhile to do. After all, it's just about changing the icon and the name, the workload is minimal. But you're right. I've seen apps that allow users to change the icon, but I've never seen any that can change the app's name. That's why I posted this to ask the 1Password team to look into it.

Would be a nice feature to (at least) change the icon :)

There is no ability like this currently. I can certainly see how it would be beneficial to you and others. I have my own personal reasons for not using the hide apps feature on iOS. How about I get a feature request going? I can't guarantee any outcomes. However, I can ensure your voice is heard.

Sure, that would be great. I want this suggestion to be noticed by 1Password team.
