5 months on and still in beta? Are there not feature releases for 1PW or do they only do periodic releases to smooth the QA process and aggregate changes?

    Thank you for the feedback. The new setting was just released in the beta version of the 1Password app on May 14th, 2025. As soon as testing is complete in the beta, we hope to release the new setting to the stable version soon.
