With the latest update of 1Password 8, it appears as if the functionality of using the secure desktop sign-in feature was removed? Can someone provide some insight on this? For now I guess for us us...

3 years agoHi @Kyrra,
Thanks for your message. During our discussion with the development team, it was noted that secure desktop is not a 100% guarantee that a keylogger can't read your password, it only hides it somewhat from malware that isn't trying.
With the details provided in my post here and above, alternate ways to authenticate caused the team remove this feature.
We're keeping an ongoing feedback for our Product team.
