Feature Request - Barcode field type

scottbram · September 2023

It would be great if, especially for simple Items like "Reward Program" or "Membership", there was either a dedicated field type for "Barcode" or if, for example, the "member ID" field could have the option to display a barcode generated from the numerical value.

This would make it useful for scanning while also preventing the need to announce a phone number out loud.

Being able to scan an existing barcode with the camera would be great.

Incidentally, this could also avoid the need to install one-off, buggy, and/or privacy-compromised apps and carry extra cards to places like a gym. (As well as centralizing them into a trusted place!)

Hi @scottbram

Thank you for sharing your insights and suggestions with us. The idea of a dedicated "Barcode" field and the capability to scan barcodes directly seems like a valuable addition, particularly for streamlining reward programs, memberships, and similar items. We're always eager to enhance the user experience and appreciate feedback like this.

While I can't promise an immediate implementation, I'll make sure to relay your suggestions to our development team for consideration in our future updates.

Thanks for trusting 1Password and for being an active member of our community!

I would love this too! I downloaded the apps PassAndroid and Catima, but would love to be able to have that functionality in 1Password instead. Stocard, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet, are other apps some people have used for this.

Catima lets me scan in my membership cards (library and gym cards for now) and then display the barcode for scanning. PassAndroid lets me import esPass (.esPass) and passbook (.pkpass) files generated for Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, etc., which are basically electronic versions of physical cards for event tickets, coupons, loyalty cards, boarding passes, etc.

I found these related forum posts, showing it's been desired by people for a long time and some other potential workarounds:
