Securely Store and Delete Documents

In 1Password, you are able to store documents (ex. scans of Passport, Driver's License etc). When you click "Download" on a document stored in 1Password in Windows, its simply downloads the file into your default downloads folder. Shouldn't 1Password be downloading these sensitive files into some temporary location and then clearing them once 1Password is locked?

My use case is sometimes I'll need to check something on a sensitive document and the only way to view the sensitive document is downloading it off of 1password. After viewing the file, I now have to manually delete the file in order to ensure the sensitive contents isn't lying around on the computer.

    Is there a place to track feature requests so I can see progress or upvote features that are useful to me?

    Good morning @klhsa9acsb, thanks for your feedback about storing documents in 1Password and your use case.

    With the examples provided for viewing scanned documents, the ability to preview a document within the 1Password 8 app is not available at this time. The process you are currently using to download and then delete the document from the device is your best course of action.

    We are tracking a feature request and looking for ways to implement a document preview within the 1Password 8 app. I've included your details for the product team's review. Have a great day!
