Hello to all!
I just realized that 1Password 8 was present in the "Location Service" section of the System Preferences.
What is the use of asking for the user's location?
Regards,
Ju

Any other permission they ask for except "Accessibility" which is required for auto fill feature?

Yes, two other types:
- Screen recording (for 2FA QR codes?)
- Automation (for Safari)

Hi folks,

Location Services is not a permission 1Password will prompt you for, and it won't use any such data if you enable it. We don't have any functions that rely on knowing the user's location. The fact that we appear in that list at all is a bug that we hope to see resolved soon.
