sign in 1Password for Windows using camera
Hello I’ve noticed a change in the Windows desktop app and wanted to check if this is intentional or a regression. When setting up 1Password for the first time on Windows (fresh install, no existing account on the device), I used to be able to scan the QR code from my printed Emergency Kit using my computer’s camera. This was extremely useful in real-life emergency situations - for example, when traveling abroad, having all your devices stolen/killed by water, and needing to quickly regain access to my 1Password account from a friend’s laptop or a cyber café. However, in the current version of 1Password for Windows, the setup screen no longer offers that option. The only available choices are: Typing the Secret Key manually from the Emergency Kit Importing the Emergency Kit file to auto-fill the Secret Key (I won't have this on me, and even then I wouldn't be comfortable putting it on a "public" device) Scanning a QR code displayed on an already-configured 1Password mobile app There is no longer any option to scan the QR code printed on the Emergency Kit using the desktop camera. On iOS and Android, this feature still exists — you can scan the printed Emergency Kit QR code easily when signing in. But on Windows, it seems to have been removed. This creates a practical problem for recovery scenarios where I don’t have a mobile device available, and only have access to my printed Emergency Kit in my wallet. Thanks a lot for any clarification! — Paul
Two different passkeys for one site (Paypal)
Hello, I have a private Paypal account and a business Paypal Account. I have Passkey configured on my private Paypal account. So each time, I open the Paypal page, I get the popup to open my private account with Passkey. But I want to open my business account. So I have to cancel many times 1Password Popups to be able, to set my business account email for login. So is it possible, 1Password can handle two different Passkey for one site?1Password Chrome asks for password every time
My Chrome extension keeps asking me to input my 1password password each site I want to use it in, even though I have these settings: Also, each time it pops up, I am asked both for the 1password password pwd and ALSO at the seme time for the Windows Hello log in. What can I do?
Storing Smart Home Codes
I store a lot in 1password to keep everything together. I am starting to get into Smart Home and devices. Most come with a code or a QR Code. Depending on where you put the device, It may not be convenient to access the code if I need to re-pair the device. Does anyone have a suggestion to add the QR codes, the text codes and identifiable information like a location into 1password? The only option I see is to create a(or multiple) secure note and add a photo of the QR code and type in other relavent information. Once I start to get dozens or even hundreds of individual devices, this could get unweildy to manage or use effectively. Would like to see 1password add a new catagory for adding Smart Home codes and device information. I think there is an IOS app called Homebase for Homekit that does this, but don't want yet another subscription or tool to manage my information. Regards, Brett
"Sign In With" Provider Not Available
When I add a "Sign in with" option to a login, I can't select any of my existing logins as the correct credentials. I seem to only be offered providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter/X, etc. For example, Shop (shop.app, also known as Shopify?) is a provider that is linked to many, many stores ... at least in Australia. It's great that I can just sign in with Shop when I'm on a new site and checking out, but I'd like to remember that's how I logged in and 1PW just doesn't allow it. I see this has been raised before and there's a thank you message from the support staff along with these "ref" numbers, such as: ref: PB-48105670 ref: PB-48105687 What are these numbers? How can we use them to check up on the status of a request? Google only finds the one specific thread where this number was posted before the conversation was locked so it seems to perhaps just be a number to make people think something is being done when really the request is thrown onto a pile that is never really looked at? Any information on how to follow up on these would be helpful, the "Sign in with" feature has been out for a while and people have been requesting this a lot so if it's not even turned up in a beta build, I'm concerned at 1PW's turnaround time for adding an easy feature to their software; even if it's rolled out in two phases where the first is just cosmetic until the second phase actually introduces functions like auto-forwarding and selecting the provider for login etc. Thanks team.
How do I transitioning from 1:1 mapping of authentication to authorization to simpler options?
I have never taken the following suggestion: In this example, let's say I work for Consult-o-rama, and the account referred to is Microsoft here is a login called Consult-o-Rama in my Consult-o-Rama vault dedicated to all things Consult-o-Rama. (I'm an employee of Consult-o-rama) the Sharepoint referred to here, then, is a SharePoint of a company which was a joint venture 30 years ago and with whom we have a close relationship. They have their own AD, but federatio nis such that we are allowed to log into their sites separately using our same login. Likewise we can switch orgs in Teams and use their separate teams with the same credentials. Sites appear in this login record in 1Password so that this credential can autopopulate on any sites i've put into the sites fields there. Other background: I have 4+ vaults. consult-o-rama, client 1, Client 2, Persional, and then Client <#> for however many clients I need to have them for. I use separate browser identities and have the vaults in the plugin filtering only on the relevant vaults. the login credential record "Consult-o-Rama' is one of 5-10 microsoft account. I log into at least that many SharePoints None of my login credential records are named Microsoft or SharePoint. How can I best use the funtcionality I'm being prompted to use without: Creating duplicate records of login credentials. Being clear about mapping identities an being able ot lble "Microsoft" in this example instead as "Consult o Rama', and "SharePoint" instead as "consult-o-rama" SharePoint. So that in the future I can map 1 to many and many to 1 logically and without confusion? Thanks!,I have an idea... for too many accounts
I really like this software. I would like to make a suggestion based on my experience with it. Because I have too many accounts, I think it is a good idea to combine projects of the same type together, which I call “multi-line item”. For example, I now have multiple Instagram accounts that I need to manage. This appears as multiple items in 1password. My idea is to centrally manage, in 1 item. I think this will greatly increase convenience. You can think of it like Excel, except each cell now becomes a specific field
