Is it possible to remove accounts from the login screen?

This is more of a nitpick/nice to have rather than a problem 😅.

I used to use a different account on my laptop but I ended up consolidating all my data into a single account. Now, when I login to my account in my mac, I have two account suggestions 😔.

I do not often logout form my account in my Mac but still I would love ❤️ to do some clean up 🧹.

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

    Hello @eruizdechavez! 👋

    The account suggestion that you're seeing in the 1Password app is being shown because the 1Password app has found a 1Password account in your iCloud Keychain. In order to make it easier to sign into your 1Password account on your Apple devices 1Password will store an encrypted copy of the equivalent of your Emergency Kit in the iCloud Keychain.

    If you have an account being found in the details stored in iCloud, and you no longer want that account to show in the list of found accounts, you can remove the data from iCloud keychain:

    1. On the Mac, launch the "Keychain Access" utility that comes with macOS
    2. In the search box in the upper-right corner of the app, search for "com.agilebits.onepassword.b5Credentials" (without the quote marks)
    3. Each search result you see is one account's details that are stored in iCloud Keychain
    4. Double-click on the entry you want to examine
    5. Tick the "Show password" box at the bottom of the Attributes tab, and enter your macOS user password when prompted
    6. The contents of the box will show the stored account details - you can click into the box and use the up and down keys on your keyboard to see all of the details
    7. When you have identified the entry that relates to the specific membership you no longer want to have recorded in iCloud Keychain, delete that one com.agilebits.onepassword.b5Credentials entry

    I hope that helps. 😊

    Thanks @Dave_1P, it worked perfectly 🎉 !

    This even gave me an idea of a similar problem I have with a couple of Microsoft accounts, I wonder 🤔 if they are doing something similar.

    I'm happy to hear that the steps worked for you. 😊

    I believe that Microsoft does store credential information in the Keychain, however for more detail about that I recommend reaching out to Microsoft Support.
