Extension's Menu Button vs. App's Help Button

The extension has a "Menu" button between the search bar and the New Item button. The placement is unusual since users have been made to expect the Menu on the far right (Firefox, Chrome). Or to have Menu options on the left sidebar. Regardless of what it's called, it's actually a Quicklaunch/Shortcut list of options that are very useful to have within easy reach.
The Windows app interface is very similar to the browser extension and it has a button in the same place but it's called "Help" and lists some of the menu options that are buried under Help in the triple dot menu on the left of the app. The app lacks the extension menu's Password Generator, Notifications and Lock that are so convenient.

Wouldn't it be better to have more consistency between this part of the extension and the application? Users like me who develop a kind of muscle memory benefit greatly when things that look so similar behave the same way.

    Hey Kyrast, thanks for reaching out.

    I can certainly see the advantage of having more consistency across 1Password for Windows and 1Password in your browser.

    We greatly appreciate your feedback here! While I can't make any promises, I've passed this along to our product team for their consideration.

    Let me know if you have any further questions or suggestions!
