Why does 1Password for Windows require administrative rights? (Why is it not portable ?)
Hi, the question of having a portable version of 1Password on Windows have been asked many times. And everytime the only answer is "maybe, but not yet".
Could you please provide more information about why the app requires administrative rights by default? Does it need restricted Windows APIs? I need such information if I'm going to make the case to our security team that the tool should be installed with privilege escalation. If I'm not able to justify the privilege escalation, it disqualifies the tool.
And if there are features that make the tool require privilege escalation, as many have suggested before me I think it would be great if you made those features optional. In almost every circumstances one should install the app in a portable manner, for only one user, under its personal AppData directory.
1Password Version: 8.4.1.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
