Feature Request: Hide 1password windows from screen-capture applications

So basically there's a Windows API function that allows you to hide the window from being captured by any recording software / screen-sharing etc.

It's widely used in many open-source / privacy-based applications such as: OBS, Password manager KeePassXC, telegram mods (streamer mode option), and so on.

Settings > Security > Exclude from capture

    Hello tickcount! 👋

    Thank you for the suggestion and for linking to the SetWindowDisplayAffinity information page. I've filed a feature request on your behalf and our product team will look into adding such a feature to 1Password in the future.

    I appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback so that we can make 1Password better. 🙂
