Working with attachments

To add an attachment: Drag a file onto the “attachments” area.

1Password encrypts this internal copy. You can decide whether to keep or delete the original file.

To view or save an attachment: Double-click on a file in the “attachments” area.

1Password asks where you want to save a decrypted copy of the attachment. When you’re finished viewing the copy, you can decide whether to keep or delete it.

(Viewing an attachment requires creating a decrypted copy of the attachment, and that copy would be available for anyone to find; so it’s be better to have you explicitly save the attachment to a known location and decide whether it needs to be deleted after it’s been viewed.)

To remove an attachment: Select a file in the “attachments” area, and choose Edit > Delete.

1Password reminds you that the attachment will be permanently destroyed, so you have a chance to save it first.

Demonstration

We’ve made a short video showing how those operations look in Windows 7.
