Question

Change the copy user and copy password shortcuts

I love the shortcuts, but I am having a hard time using the Control-Shift-C to copy the password, and it very much interrupts my flow. I type at about 90 WPM and Control-Shift-C puts too much stress on my left hand.

Would it be possible to make the shortcuts customizable? Both in the extension and the app, please?

For reference, I love the KeePass shortcuts where Control-B copies the username, and Control-C copies the password. I don't expect everyone to find this natural or intuitive (it's almost like a-b-c, first b, then c), but I'd love to have the option of using these.

Hi @chutz! I can absolutely understand how being able to customize the copy-related shortcuts would be helpful in streamlining your workflow. I've filed a feature request with our Product team on your behalf, including all of the details you've provided here.

While I can't make any promises as to if or when this change might be made to 1Password, you can keep an eye on future changes in our release notes: 1Password Releases

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback about this 😄

I'd like to second this request.

I want cmd+c to copy the password, not the username.

@1P_Gem could we have an update on this ?

Thank you.

I highly support this request. It's a pain that 1Password does not support different keyboard shortcuts for copy username and password!

@enzo42

Thank you for reaching out. 1Password does indeed have different shortcuts for copying the username and the password:

  • Ctrl + C: Copy the username or primary field of the selected item.
  • Ctrl + Shift + C: Copy the password of the selected item.
  • Ctrl + Alt + C: Copy the one-time password of the selected item.

Do you mean that you'd like to customize these shortcuts like the others in this thread? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the quick answer.
I'm fine with Ctrl + Shift + C. Just could not find that shortcut anywhere.
brgds.
