Feature Feedback: UI Overlap Issue & More Flexible Secret Sharing Controls

Dear 1Password Team,

I would like to share several feedback points regarding usability and flexibility within the 1Password Windows desktop application and its secret sharing feature.


First
, I noticed a UI issue in the Windows desktop app where the "New Item" button appears overlapped by the window’s minimize control. This creates a confusing visual layout and may affect usability, particularly when navigating quickly. It would be helpful if this overlap could be reviewed and adjusted to ensure consistent spacing and clarity across window sizes or display scaling settings.

Second, regarding the secret sharing feature, I would appreciate more flexibility in configuring expiration and viewing limitations:

* Custom link expiration duration
Currently, the available options for "Link expires after" are limited to fixed presets (1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days). In practical scenarios, more granular control would be very useful — for example:
- 30 minutes
- 90 minutes
- 21 days
- any custom duration defined by the user

While this may seem like a small enhancement, it would significantly improve usability in real-world workflows where precise timing matters.

* Custom number of allowed views
At present, the viewing limitation only allows either:
- unlimited views
- or exactly 1 view

It would be very helpful if users could specify custom limits (e.g., 2 views, 3 views, 5 views, etc.), especially when sharing secrets with small teams or temporary collaborators.

* Selective field sharing
Another improvement that would greatly enhance security flexibility is the ability to choose which fields within an item are shared.
For example, in my case, I may want to share GitLab credentials (username and password) but exclude attached files such as recovery codes. Currently, sharing an item also shares all attachments, which may expose sensitive backup data unintentionally.




Overall, these enhancements would improve both usability and security control, especially for users who rely on 1Password for professional workflows and credential sharing.

Thank you for continuously improving the product, and I hope these suggestions are helpful for future updates.

Best regards,
