Pin to Screen missing
Comments
-
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.

Thank you for the feedback. You can also open an item in a new window by following these steps:
- Press Shift-Command-Space to open Quick Access.
- Search for an item.
- Press Command‑O to open the item in a new window.
Let me know if that's a little easier. 🙂

@Dave_1P 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...!

Also, I just noticed that there is no edit option in the new Open In Window/Pin on Screen option. That's what I use it for the most, when changing passwords.

Oh wow... @CGDaveMac I totally missed that... Edit button is crucial. I used it all the time as well.

I would like to add my vote for the return of an edit button on the pinned window. I'm also using it a lot !
Thanks !0 -

Can I also request that the pin window is brought back please.

You can open a new window by following these steps:
- Press Shift-Command-Space to open Quick Access.
- Search for an item.
- Press Command‑O to open the item in a new window.
That being said, I've added your feedback to the internal tracking item that we have open to look into allowing editing in the new window. Thank you for the suggestion. 🙂

I have to agree - the pin to screen feature (with edit button) was something I used all the time - so I am looking forward to seeing this come back soon

Hopefully that will be possible Hopper. I have voiced your wanting to see the feature again. Did you get a chance to try what Dave_1P mentioned?

+1 to this.
Pin to screen really useful. If I have to open a new window I might as well just open desktop 1Pw and tile the windows! Not good use to screen real estate. Pin to screen was perfect (with one proviso, I wish the 'pin to screen' button had been at the top of the window so less mouse movement to click).

Pin to screen was one of the most useful tools and it is huge loss now that it doesn't exist. Please bring it back ASAP

Hi @NormanNorwich and @JimH,
To clarify, opening an item in a new window won't open the main 1Password app window. In addition to Dave's instructions for using keyboard shortcuts above, if you prefer to navigate with your mouse you can set the menu bar icon to open Quick Access when clicked:
If you have the website or app open, you'll see your login item in the suggestions and won't have to search for it. From here you can click the 3 dots followed by
Open Item In New Window. Here's an example of how this would look, note the main 1Password app window doesn't appear at any point and even when re-focusing on the browser, the new window with my credentials remains visible:
Here's the same process using keyboard shortcuts when on an unrelated website:
I personally prefer this since I'll already be on my keyboard in case I need to search anything, but I encourage you to try them both. We had some feedback earlier in this thread about being able to edit from the new window, I'd be happy to file proxy votes on your behalves if that's also something you're interested in, so let me know. 🙂

Thanks for the pointer to Quick Access. Looks promising. (Still don't like the mm/dd/yy format though ;) ).

Hi @NormanNorwich,
Anytime! A great place to get started with Quick Access if you'd like: Get to know Quick Access
I'm a dd/mm/yyyy man myself, I've added you to our internal feature request to give users the option to change this. 👍🏻

+1 for Pin to screen. For sites where you have to use 4/5/6 character from the password this is a must ! I'm using Firefox on Mac and miss this greatly :(

Hi @tobyw722,
Thanks for sharing your feedback, I've added a proxy vote on your behalf to our internal tracker for pinning items from browser extensions. 👍🏻
In the meantime, if you use 1Password 8 on your device, I recommend trying Quick Access to view passwords:
- Open Quick Access
- If the item for your current website isn't already showing, search for it
- With the correct item highlighted, press
⌘+O - Hold
optionto reveal your password in the new window - When you're done, you can close that window with
esc
If step 4 isn't working for you, double check that this setting is checked:
Let me know how that goes or if you have any questions. 🙂

Surely, surely the date option would follow the User/OS location settings.
Anything that forces a foreign date format is pretty antediluvian (and confusing)0 -
Please bring back Pin on Screen. I tried 1Password v8 for a few weeks but reverted back to v7 so I could have Pin on Screen again.

@andrew.l_1P That works, but I think it will be a little quicker having an option to click "pin to screen" from that Quick Access lookup window. I'm actually having to press more keys using shortcuts :(

Our developers are investigating an issue where dates aren't being localized to system settings in 1Password 8 and hopefully this will be fixed and improved with a future update. I've added your report to the tracking item for the issue.
Thank you for the feedback, both of your comments have been forwarded to our product team so that they're aware that you'd like to see this feature in the future. 🙂
