Ctrl+Alt to reveal fields not working - reporting issue

I have the "Hold Ctrl+Alt to toggle revealed fields" in Security checked. From time to time, it stops working; Ctrl+Alt does not reveal any fields.

The fix is simple - go back to Security, uncheck and immediately check the option. That always fixes the issue.

This issue has been around for some time. Running 1password 8.10.13 on Windows 11


1Password Version: 8.10.13
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Win 11
Browser: Chrome

Hello @dudley,

I'm sorry for the troubles you are encountering with the option to "Hold Ctrl+Alt to toggle revealed fields" no longer working after some time.

I while I understand this behaviour only happens from time to time and may not be easily reproducible, do you see this behaviour after restarting Windows in Safe Mode with Networking Enabled:
* Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support

If safe mode helps, have you noticed any pattern around when this stops working? For example, does it stop working after launching some other specific app? I'm wondering if something else on your device is taking control over the Ctrl + Alt shortcut and causing this behaviour. Can you check if you any other apps you regularly use that also have Ctrl + Alt enabled as a short?

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hello @ag_mike_d

I am experiencing the issues right now. I am not running Windows in safe mode; I just restarted the PC so there are not that many apps running.

Let me know if you want me to do any test - I am not going to fix it for now.

I ended several tasks in the Task manager that I thought could be catching Ctrl+Alt but it still does not toggle.

Hello @dudley,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in response.

I understand that you do not always experience this behaviour, but restarting Windows in Safe Mode is the best way to help determine if something is still running that may be causing these troubles:
* Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support

If this continues to be an issue, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC so the team can help investigate further:
