Hide password for employes

Hi everybody, i'm new on 1password, and already searching for a moment how to make that my employees don't see the password when they use 1Password but can't find it. So in fact, I have some employees for who i prefer that they don't see the password when using it to logging to some website.

Is there any possibility on 1password on auto-completion without any possibility to display the password? 

Thanks a lot for any answers! 

Regards, 

Yannick

    Hi Yannick_Tyvaert​,

    Good question! 1Password Business accounts include granular vault permissions, such as the 'View and Copy Passwords' permission. If a team member doesn’t have this permission for a specific vault, they won’t be able to reveal or copy passwords for any items stored in that vault when using 1Password apps. However, they can still fill passwords into websites using the 1Password browser extension.

    It’s important to note that the 'View and Copy Passwords' permission is client-enforced, meaning it is applied within the 1Password apps and not enforced through encryption or on the server. Because of this, a determined individual may still find ways to reveal a password outside of the 1Password apps. For instance, if a password is filled into a browser, the team member could modify the webpage’s HTML to convert password fields into plain-text fields, exposing the password. Similarly, this could occur on websites with a “View Password” option. For this reason, the 'View and Copy Passwords' permission should be considered a deterrent rather than an absolute restriction.
