is there a way to truncate your secret key when you first produce it. (prevents bad actor doing screen capture from knowing your secret key)

    so it would be a nice feature if you could "regenerate secret key" without fully showing the entire secret key at that moment.

    Hi @1passquest,

    Your Secret Key will be partially hidden when creating your account on 1Password.com. It will however be visible on your Emergency Kit so I don't recommend downloading or accessing that until you're on a trusted device. Ideally you're signing up on a trusted device as well!

    If you're worried at any point that your Secret Key is no longer secure, you can always regenerate it by logging into your account in your browser:

    Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
