Hello seanboult! 👋

Thanks for interesting idea! I can definitely see how a special mode would be helpful, especially if you still want to access 1Password (or show it off) without revealing any of the information that you've saved there. I've passed along your feedback to the team.

For the time being, there are a few things that I would recommend:

  1. Change your auto-lock settings to have 1Password lock more often. If 1Password is locked then no one can see your items: How to set 1Password to lock automatically
  2. Lock 1Password manually before streaming your desktop by using Shift-Command-L (on Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + L (on Windows).
  3. In the 1Password desktop app's settings make sure that the following options are turned off: "Always show passwords and full credit card numbers" and "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields".

You can also consider fully closing 1Password while streaming or using a different Mac/Windows account where you're not using 1Password.

Thank you again for the feedback and for helping us make 1Password even better. 🙂

-Dave
