Do I have to turn on 1Password on menu bar? I want to hide 1Password on menu bar. Maybe should I use 3rd party app to hide menu bar?

    Thanks for the reply! Yes, for 1Password to run in the background the menu bar icon has to be turned on. This is to ensure that you know when 1Password is running in the background and whether it is locked or unlocked. 

    Some people do use third-party apps to hide the menu bar, that's certainly one option that would work.
