Hello 9AmberMoog! 👋

Thanks for the question! I personally always leave rich icons on since it makes the 1Password user experience a lot more aesthetically pleasing and I'm confident that the feature is secure. However there is a small privacy risk with rich icons that you can read about here:

If you'd like to turn off rich icons then you can follow these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.

  4. Click Privacy.
  5. Turn off "Show app and website icons".

I hope that helps! 🙂
