Deleted 'Secret Key' from my 1password database

Hey @fernando91, thanks for reaching out.

You should be able to create a password field and manually rename the field to secret key.

Let me how that goes!

Thank you, creating the 'Secret Key' field actually did work.

The only other issue I see is that the 'Secret Key' is shown in plaintext instead of as ***** asterisks.
Is there some way to block it out, or is this field normally shown in plaintext?

Edit: Creating a Text field and renaming it to 'Secret Key' does work, but the text isn't hidden. But creating a Password field and renaming it does not work. It doesn't autofill on my.1password.com.

Hey @fernando91,

Thanks for your reply. You may actually be able to restore the previous version of the item prior to the deletion of the Secret Key field. Sign in to your account on 1Password.com and check out:

• View and restore previous versions of items

Let me know how that goes!

Interesting, it seems the 'View Item History' option is not available for the entry labelled '1password'. The option is available for most, but not all other entries.

I don't think it would have made a difference, given that I had deleted the entire entry and then re-created it. (This was a while ago, so it's not in the 'Recently Deleted' items either.)

Do you have any other ideas for this? I am almost tempted to create a new 'dummy' 1password account, just to see how the initial entry is set up.

Hi @fernando91, I'm sorry to hear that didn't work. Deleting the entire entry and re-creating it would explain why the item history wouldn't appear for it.

I tested and encountered the same behaviour you described with the manually created secret key field.

I'm not sure if it would be possible to set this up exactly as the original Starter Kit item. Although you may set up an item to look exactly like it, some of the field tags will have different values under the hood. So any manually created Starter Kit item will not mimic the behaviour of the original.

One option is to just keep it saved as a password field, then drag and drop the the secret key whenever you need it. At least that way you have it saved and not shown in plain text.

Thank you for investigating and confirming.
Is there some way I can submit this to 1password as a feature suggestion?
