Question

Some basic annoyances with 1Password on Windows....

Okay, have been having a bunch of issues since I installed 1Password on a new computer. Here are the basic things that this should be able to do and yet I can't find any way to set or force:

  1. I want to install 1Password in the place where programs go, "C;\Program Files" -- not in a hidden directory where local and temporary files are mixed.
  2. I don't want it to download or check for or updates without asking--and yes, I know there should be a setting for this, but there isn't.
  3. I want to be able to "snap" and resize 1Password like any other window. Currently, if it closes and resizes then I need to manually drag all the borders to where they should be, it will not "snap" into a quadrant or portion like any other sane program.

Thanks in advance to any kind Redditor who can help me with these issues. I'm on Windows 11, FWIW.

Hello @JonML44! 👋

Thanks for the questions! There are a few different installers for 1Password for Windows with different properties. You can read more here: Deploy 1Password for Mac and Windows

Can you share which installer you've used to install 1Password on your Mac? And is your device managed by your workplace? Or is it a personal device?
