Travel mode vs Recently deleted items
I'm a long time user of 1password and decided to give Travel Mode feature a try. Honestly, I don't know how this went unnoticed by testing and hundreds of other users or is it just me? When switchin...
Hi maratm, thanks for reaching out about this!
You're correct that this is likely due to moving items around. When you move an item between vaults, 1Password performs a copy + delete operation. A copy of the item is created in the destination vault, and the original is deleted from the source vault, which places it in Recently Deleted for 30 days. This is by design as part of how vault syncing works, but it does create the situation you've discovered, where items you'd like to keep hidden can still be visible in Recently Deleted.
At the moment, the best way to protect yourself before travelling would be to select anything you don't want to be visible under Recently Deleted, right-click, and choose "Destroy permanently".
I've filed your feedback about this with the team, as this is exactly the kind of real-world scenario that helps us highlight areas where we can improve.

Thank you. That was what I was going to do, just wanted to make sure that'd be a correct workaround.
That said, from the user viewpoint the recently deleted folder is of no use in Travel Mode (we are travelling, not editing or organizing our vaults). So it would be safe to just disable/hide it in Travel mode universally and automatically. No one expects full protection from the travel mode anyway - its goal is to temporarily hide something from prying eyes.
