5 years agoWhat is this floating button on my Pixel and how do I get rid of it.
This floating 1Password “button”. It’s very annoying. It appears to get brighter when in tap it, but that’s it. I can move it from one side of the screen to the other but it invariably ends up being in the way of something.

Hi @roostercrab:
As @morganwallhagen mentioned (thanks for the assist! :smile:), it should be under Settings > Accessibility, then select 1Password, and then set "1Password shortcut" to off.

I just happened to deal with this very issue, and while I don't recall the exact steps I followed to remove the floating button, in Android (recent versions, anyway) it involves going into Settings, then Accessibility. 1Password will probably show up as an app with accessibility features, and you can turn off the button there. Again, it involved a little tinkering, but I think with a little trial and error in Settings > Accessibility, you'll manage to turn the button off.

Maybe you could tell us how to do that though?

Hey @CFster, it sounds like you are referring to 1Password's Accessibility shortcut.
Let me clarify that there are two Accessibility options that you can enable, the Accessibility service itself and the Accessibility shortcut. Only the service is necessary, and the shortcut does not provide anything with regards to 1Password, which is why nothing happens when you tap on it. The shortcut can instead be used for another type of Accessibility service, like TalkBack or Magnification: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693?hl=en#:%7E:text=Choose%20a%20shortcut%3A,swipe%20with%20TalkBack%20turned%20on.
I suspect the Android 12 beta may be enabling this Accessibility shortcut by default. Therefore, all you'll need to do is disable 1Password's Accessibility shortcut, as it will not do anything.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with 😊
