Any update on turning on Secure Desktop by default?

Hello laugher,

Thanks for your message. I'm sorry to inform you that it was decided to remove support for the Secure Desktop feature entirely from 1Password 8 in December 2022. These details were included in our release notes.

The Secure Desktop functionality had remained in our testing channels with little customer feedback or demand for this feature making it's way to Production. This, coupled with changes to the architecture in 1Password 8, the use of Single Sign-on (SSO) becoming more prevalent, and the availability of Windows Hello on modern platforms, has reduced the need for the Secure Desktop feature.

With our rewrite and the changes in architecture between 1Password versions 7 and 8, we had continued testing this feature, but it's been challenging to get this feature working up to the standards expected of 1Password. When considering this, the rollout of alternate ways to authenticate (SSO and Windows Hello), and the lack of community feedback, it was decided to not move forward with the Secure Desktop feature in 1Password 8 for windows.

While I can't make any promises, we're continuing to monitor customer feedback and pass it along to our Product team. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes you, but do let me know if I can be of further assistance.
