Feature Request: "Always on top" option

reck

On most of my banking sites nowadays part of the login process normally requires I type in random letters from a passphrase.

Something like "Please type in characters 2, 6, 8 from your passphrase". Of course I have my pasphrase saved in 1Password but whenever I click in the browser to type in one of the characters in the 1Password window goes behind my browser so I end up doing a lot of alt+tabbing as I flip between typing the character in the browsers and looking for the next character in 1Password.

Would it be possible to add a "Always on top" option so that the 1Password window always stays on top of all other windows, even when it doesn't have focus? I can then keep typing in the browser and read 1Password at the same, no window switching needed.

I'm not sure that's possible with the standard Windows element currently being used to display the 1Password extension in your browser, @reck. :(

Thanks for letting us know it would be useful to you, though!

@DBrown‌ I got the impression that @reck‌ was using the main 1Password window for this, not the extension. An "Always on top" option would work fine there, although you are right, the extension's menu could not be set persistently topmost in its current state.

I was indeed talking about the main 1Password window.

A stay on top option is just a standard property of all windows windows I believe, if being accessed from code. So hopefully it would be very simply to implement?

indeed:

SetWindowPos(hMainWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

Maybe they can just do a copy\paste Richard :)

Thanks, folks! I had no idea Windows programming was so simple. ;)
