4 years agoOne-time password timer doesn't display when window loses focus - intentional?
On the Windows app the timer in the one-time password window disappears when the window loses focus. Is this intentional? I prefer it always visible, so making that an option would be preferable. Started with version 8.6.0

Noted for the performance improvement, but I personally prefer having the countdown. Or hiding the OTP on the inactive window if it's expired.

Hi @ForbQuiet, thanks for your feedback here!
This timer is available when a login is opened in a new window, however as noted above, you will see the same behaviour where timer disappears once the window loses focus. I can understand where having this as an option could be beneficial. I can't make any promises but happy to pass your feedback along to the team for consideration.
Have a great day!

Just came across this and would love to see this as an option. It would be great to at least have it show if you open a login item as a separate window from the quick access menu.

Hi @natedoc - DenalB is right, this was done to improve CPU usage and battery life. Here's a post from a recent Beta release with more:

thank you for asking, and for the keen eye on 1Password's particulars! We can certainly discuss making this an option as well.

Hi @natedoc !
This was changed in one of the last beta builds to improve performance of the 1Password Windows app. π
