Custom Icons
I'm confused as to whether 1Password X supports custom icons.
The last time I tried it on Google Chrome, about a month ago, it didn't but as I was skimming through the release notes I noticed it's supposed to be a supported feature?
There are six mentions of "custom icons" and four mentions of "rich icons", spread across different versions, in the release notes.
Maybe I don't understand something here:
- Many of my entries have personalised (custom?) icons uploaded for those entries without a 1Password-obtained (rich?) icon
- Some of my entries use personalised (custom?) icons uploaded where a 1Password-obtained exists but is out-of-date
Does 1Password X support personalised icons in Google Chrome and, if so, how can I fix the icons not displaying?
Thank you :)

Hey, @gazu.
The way Rich Icons work is explained here: https://support.1password.com/privacy-rich-icons/, and it basically depends on 3 things:
- Your login's site has a quality icon available
- That icon is available in the 1Pass database (as explained in the link I shared above)
- There's a URL to match it
My understanding is that you can add personalized icons in 1Password.com and in the native apps (Windows & Mac), but not in 1Pass X (I guess it's because of the privacy concerns, but can't say for sure), and so 1Pass X would just show the default icon (if there's any).
I have to say I'm not a 1Pass team member, so definitely wait for a response from them :chuffed: Have a nice weekend!

I think it's important to draw a distinction between custom icons and Rich Icons.
Custom icons are those you've added yourself. This is possible for any item.
Rich Icons are those that we host on our server for popular sites, so there's automatically (with the feature enabled) an icon representing specific Login items.
1Password X supports both in the current beta, but only Rich Icons in the current stable release. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused. :)

Thanks for the clarification.
I'll await the stable release and then install it - I rely on the visual icons a lot.
1PX seems more reliable at auto-filling than the traditional browser extension so that'll become my daily driver (with the desktop app used for everything else).
Awesome. :)

@gazu: Sounds good. Shouldn't be too long for that one. :)
But perhaps of interest, the filling Brain is exactly the same in 1Password X and the desktop extension. One thing that helps 1Password X in some cases though is when you trigger filling from within a web form, since it has more information about where you want it to fill then. ;)
Glad you're enjoying 1Password X! We've got even more improvements to come. Cheers! :)

Interesting. I was wondering when 1pwX would support custom icons, and lo and behold it does. Cool.
Question regarding those, are they stored in our private account? Encrypted with everything else? Similar to a file attachment on a record? or are they copied to a public server similar to your rich icons? Not a big deal, just curious as to how they are stored.
Thanks for being awesome!

Hi @unrealreality! That's a really good question. Custom icons are stored on our server, encrypted by a random key stored within the item, which is encrypted with the vault key, which is encrypted by however you're getting access to the vault. We don't actually have any of those keys either. Pretty sweet, huh? :sunglasses:
