I'm sorry if these touches in a topic that bends to the political, but this is something that I don't think we as keepers of people's most important and sensitive information should be just standing by and not getting into the discussion before it is too late. As a Canadian and a 1Password being a Canadian based "Electronic Service Provider", based on the law's very loose definition of what an ESP is, I have very grave concerns that just like Apple and Meta the data that is contained within 1Password could be subject to this "unlawful" bill. Even my own company as small as it may be is caught up in the legal definition of an ESP. There is no scope at what an ESP is and what the government has defined and what their level of Systemic Vulnerability will be.1Password in its current wording is caught up in this definition The powers can be extended through regulations an minimal future debateNo GuardrailsSecret ministerial orders requiring system modifications or re-engineer

Can we be assured that 1Password can’t be compromised in a similar fashion to the attack on Dashlane.?

Suggestion for a feature:At login time, when 1passwords starts, the Windows focus is set to password. Please consider this improvement and use scenario:focus is set on password user presses [Tab] to move focus to the "eye" icon to reveal/hide passworduser presses [Enter] or [Space] to reveal password.  Result: the password field will show plain text chars from now on.  The Windows focus remains on the reveal/hide button.Suggestion: instead of leaving the focus on the reveal/hide icon, set the Windows focus to the password input text.Justification: When i work remotely from home, I do not need to worry about stranger eyes reading my password.  In this case, I prefer to type my password to the app on plain text.  Due to accessibility issues, I try to use keyboard entry and keyboard shortcuts as much as I can.  And i try to minimize the keystrokes as much as I can.  Bringing the windows focus back to the password input field would help me.Additional

Hi Everyone, I used the Password Generator to create a new password for my 1Password account.  I then took a screen shot of the password and assumed id just type it in the next time and be on my way.  however, there is a character in the password that i cannot for the life of me figure out what it is?  i dont know why they would use such a random character or its just a font issue?  ive tried a "7" and a lower case "L", but im worried im going to get locked out of my account if i keep trying.   what is the character and what buttons do i push on the mac keyboard to find it? desperate for help. thanks

Why I don't get an option to start a new discussion from the Home Screen? Why do Ihave to open a chat and then look for it? The site needs to be used friendly which it is not right now for such cases.

Hi folksI have used 1Password for many years to manage my passwords.  I am from an IT security background and am very comfortable with this technology.  However, my wife is not; she struggles with IT in general, and passwords in particular.  She also accesses some financial websites which use what I consider to be archaic means of logging in, for example, "1st, 5th and 8th" letter of a password that she struggles to remember, when the password has been formulated by Safari (to my way of thinking, this encourages very poor password practices in those who are already vulnerable).  Does anyone here have similar experience, and can anyone offer guidance as to how useful the Family upgrade would be to those in our situation?

Hi,I understand that there is a way to set up 2FA to login to 1Password but I have yet to find it. Can someone help?Thank you,Magda

I wonder if we could have some discussion about the blog post entitled: "What we learned using Ai agents to refactor a monolith"? First off, I have to say that this is NOT written for the average user. From the title to the "Here's the situation:" 2nd paragraph, I'm already lost.  "Go monolith?" "foundation of our product for years?" That's fine if this wasn't written at an average customer level,  but the reaction on mastodon was VERY negative https://1password.social/@1password/116569353856438624 and I find myself having trouble not sliding there too.The diagram that shows "Human - Owns all key decisions" then dumps into an Execute block with only Agents mentioned is VERY concerning for an average 1PW user. Who looks over that code? If this is about improving 1PW developer productivity (which most Ai is all about), I'm pretty confident that EVERY 1PW customer would say: I hired you to provide world class security - if suddenly you want to water that down for some productivi

I saw a discount of $2.99 ​​USD for a one-year initial subscription when I signed up. However, after the 8-9 day free trial, I realized I didn't receive the discount. I've contacted several places, but haven't received a response. This is the only place left, so I'm asking here. As you can see in the image, the payment processed was a full amount.

Hello Everyone, Is it possible to onboard users in 1Password using local Active Directory, or is it limited to invitation emails and sign-up links? Thank you.

Recently, other password managers like NordPass have https://nordpass.com/blog/nordpass-ios-update-notes/#nordpass-4101-latest, which acts the same way the 1Password Browser Extension does, where it automatically saves login info upon logging into an app or website.In theory, 1Password should be able to mimic this capability, correct?It's only available on iOS 26.2 and above, but this capability SHOULD make the hassle of saving passwords & logins on iOS & iPadOS practically non-existent. I've seen that in the https://releases.1password.com/ios/beta/#1password-for-ios-8.12.6-31, there was a patch note that read...It’s now easier to generate and save passwords when you use Autofill....but that doesn't specify whether autosave is incorporated yet or not, and the Testflight beta is at full capacity, so I wanted to see if I could possibly get some clarification.

Hi everyone,Ive been having a recurring issue with biometric authentication (fingerprint) in the 1Password app. Sometimes my finger is slightly wet, or I don't place it correctly on the first try, and the app immediately locks me out and asks for the master passwordFrom a usability standpoint, this feels a bit counterproductive. The whole point of enabling biometrics is to make authentication faster and more convenient, but having only one attempt before being forced to type the full password can be frustrating. Is there any way to increase the number of allowed biometric attempts (for example, 3–5 tries) before the app falls back to requiring the master password? Or is this behavior fixed for security reasons? Id love to know if there's a setting I'm missing, or if this could be considered as a feature requestThanks!

Hi ive been trying to update my payment details on the billing page and the submit button is inactive (just circling). Ive sent 3 emails and one to community and no response. Theres no billing page on the app. Can someone from the team contact me ?  

So this is just a small thing I've been battling for a little while, not sure if a bug or by design. When I go to create a new item via the 1password app on MacOS, specifically an API key entry, I always search for API to get the template, because that's in the title of the credential I want to create so I assume that will get me there. When I search for API, the API credential option does not show up. But when I search key, THEN it shows up as on option. Even if you search for the exact asset by name, it still doesn't show upSo I thought that maybe I was using this wrong or searching for what I wanted incorrectly, But if I search credit then credit card shows up no problem.Same thing for IdentitySo I guess this is a bug report, but maybe a feature request, but maybe 'i might be doing something wrong'?Thanks XD

The thing that really worries me nowadays about using my computer is supply-chain attacks. I have used computers since Windows 3.1 in the 1990s (currently MacBook Pro M1) and have always been safe and sensible when using / running software.However, these supply chain attacks are extremely concerning for me because I can now get infected by something no matter how safe I am... AND when downloading software from official sources. I know that 1Password is designed very well from the blog posts and articles I've read from the company over the years. However, I'm very nervous downloading / updating / running ANY software now.As LastPass has been hacked multiple times in the past, and now Bitwarden, it would be good if someone from 1Password could write something to address this changing threat landscape.
