settings window not resizeable
The settings window is unaccountably not resizeable. This is extremely frustrating on a large display, especially with the interface zoom > 100%.
macOS 8.10.64
Hello Araxia! ๐
Thanks for reaching out! Settings windows are generally not resizable on macOS, for example take a look at the Settings window for apps like Apple Notes and Safari.
That being said, there is an internal discussion open to consider changes here and I've added your comments there. Thank you for the feedback!

Any traction on this? Every time I update my 1Password settings I have to jump through hoops: reset the Interface Zoom setting from 200% to 100%, activate my OS-level zoom and scrub around the screen to read and change the settings, turn off OS-level zoom, reset the 1Password Interface Zoom setting back to 200% so that I can read anything in the 1Password UI.
I figured y'all might be making changes for macOS 26. This would be a great time to make the settings window correctly resize in proportion to the zoom setting.
While you're at it, you could really help out your vision impaired users and also fix the bug that prevents the "Show in Large Type" window from appearing when the zoom is set to anything other than 100%. And make those windows resize proportionately with the Interface Zoom setting as well. (c.f. #36238 & #36239).

Thanks for following up! The internal request is still open in our team's backlog but I don't have any updates to share. The two issues that you've mentioned involving large type are also still open in our backlog. I'm sorry that I don't have any updates to share.

Thanks for having this discussion. I'm going to press the point even further. Many of these other unresizeable settings windows do not have many controls, or do not require scrolling--the window automatically resizes to accommodate all of the controls in the newly selected tab/pane.
Furthermore, just because Apple does it, does not make it a good idea, either; there is no good reason not to allow resizing these windows to increase their usability, especially for people with vision impairments.
Meanwhile, the 1Password settings have significantly more options and do require scrolling. And once again, having Interface Zoom > 100% makes this artificial limitation especially awkward. Here is your Appearance pane at 100% vs 200%; remember this is unresizable (and there is no horizontal scroll). Ridiculous!
