1Password TeamHi thirdwaver,
Thanks for taking the time to share your idea, I can see how more customization of items in that menu could be helpful and will share your feedback with the team. 👍🏻

Another options would be to utilize tags to organize these items and hide categories altogether:
I recognize these these alternatives have the potential to do more harm than good depending on how you use 1Password, so rest assured your original idea will be added to our internal tracker!
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify: only categories that actually have items associated with them in the current account or collection will show up in the sidebar. Can you tell me a little more about which categories you'd like to remove from the sidebar in the 1Password app even though you have items saved in those categories? I can pass your use case along to the team.
