Pin to Screen missing
After upgrading to 1P-8, the Pin To Screen feature is missing from the Safari browser extension. Am I missing something?
1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.3.3
OS Version: 12.3.1

Hello mrp777, the option to pin to screen isn't a part of the current browser extension. However, I see that we do have a feature request for this filed with our developers - and I'll be happy to submit a vote on your behalf for that feature.
In the meantime, is there something specific you're trying to do that's proving troublesome due to a lack of that Pin to Screen feature? Depending on your goal, we may be able to suggest an alternate approach.
Thanks, and I'll look forward to learning more about this!

I use that feature all the time. Sometimes, a website will not allow direct fill from 1P. Therefore, I need to pin it on the screen, then copy and paste username & password. This happens more times than you think.

By chance have you tried Universal Access? It has now become my go to when I experience a problematic site.

I have not used that feature. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

Pin to screen was one of the first things I noticed missing. There is an open in new window, but it just opens 1Password. Then if you click the hamburger button and select open in new window again, it has the same functionality as pin to screen. Very clunky and I would also request an option to pin directly.

@CGDaveMac I completely agree. The work-around is very clunky. Also, the old Pin To Screen would stay above all other windows... Open In New Window will not do that. PTS was so helpful, it seems as if its omission is by mistake.

1P_Dave I followed the steps and it does open a Pin-To Screen window. So, that is good that it still exists. However, I wouldn't agree that it is easy because it now takes 3 steps to do what used to take just one step. It would be so much easier if the browser button would allow us to directly open the Pin-To Screen, as it was in 1P-7 and early. Thanks for the tip, though, and I look forward to this feature being improved in the future...!

Yep... I like keyboard shortcuts so that is good to know... I need to get used to the Quick Access. But like mrp777 stated, I think the default behavior of the Safari Extension for "Open In New Window" should do the same thing.
