Feature suggestion: Illuminating icon when on a site with a stored password

It would be great if the 1Password icon in extensions/menu bar illuminated when browsing a site which has a password stored, especially useful if 1Password is locked as otherwise you have to unlock it to find out.

    Hi @NiBr,

    Thanks so much for your suggestion! I think it sounds like a pretty slick idea, however, it is not entirely possible. This is because when 1Password is locked, so is all your data. 1Password cannot check to see if you have a Login saved for a particular site because all your data is encrypted. Taking this one step further, if an unsavoury character got a hold of your computer, they could easily find out where you had accounts by visiting popular sites and watching for the glowing icon. This would give them a much better idea of sites to target for an attack.

    That being said, it might be possible to implement this feature while 1Password is unlocked. I'd be happy to pass this along to our developers. :)
