1Password TeamExperiment #7 - Anti-Peek Mode
Hello 1Password Community! At 1Password, we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to help you use 1Password with confidence - even when you are out in the world and uncertain of how sec...
I turned on this feature and for weeks I thought that 1password was broken. This morning, I started a discussion because of this, but realized that this feature is casing the issues I experience. I could not copy a password and my home page was blurred, just right I signed in with my fingerprint. Glad I could turn this off.
I would agree that this is a nice feature to have, but not in its current implementation. It should be disabled by default, and it might be turned on with a toggle in the top or bottom nav bar (session-wise).
Currently, I am disabling it because it didn't make sense this way.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear that it caused disruptions to your 1Password experience.
Just to make sure that I am understanding correctly, when you say the following, "It should be disabled by default" are you saying that it was enabled automatically by default or that you enabled it manually weeks ago and didn't notice that it remained on? It should definitely be disabled by default unless you explicitly enable it yourself.
Having said that, I do think that accidentally having Anti-Peek Mode on could happen to users in the future and lead users to think that 1Password is not working correctly. Having some clearer indication to users that Anti-Peek mode is activated in addition to having more flexibility in terms of how to turn it on/off would improve this feature greatly. Again, thanks for trying the feature out!Hi 1P_justin,
Yes, I turned it on via the Lab-Settings and forget about it. Since then, 1p went worse in terms of Usability, and it felt like a big bug no one is to care about. I agree that this could affect other people as well in the future. This feature is –for me – a clear indicator that this should not be implemented via a settings page, it should be accessible with a toggle button at all time. Allow me to explain it:
Regularly I use 1p in a secure place, there is no one next to more to spy information. But in some situations I want to be certain, that no one could see this. I'm thinking about a ride in the train. An easy-to-use toggle button is then faster than going into the settings and then turning if off again after I'm leaving the train. That is what I mean with "it should be disabled by default".

Thanks so much for explaining and makes total sense.
