Question

How do I see previous passwords

I am using 1PW 1Password 7
Version 7.9.3 (70903004)
Mac App Store

I read that I should be able to see previous passwords for a login by hovering over my password -- That is not working for me. My MacOS is current. Safari in my primary browser, but I don't think my browser should matter since I am in the 1PW application.

I also see this feature exists in iOS -- I did not know that, but I can't find it there either.

Here is where I look -

Open 1PW
Search for a site name --
Select the 1PW entry the Search feature finds
Move/hover my mouse pointer over the word "password" or the actual password displayed in the login window and I see no previous passwords.

At one time I could see previous passwords if I clicked the "Edit" option for the login -- but not now.

Any suggestions?


1Password Version: 7.9.3
Extension Version: Not Provided

The new location of previous passwords is perfectly reasonable and intuitive... now that I know about it. My gripe is this:
* it used to be farther down in the item info where it was easily visible, but then
* it moved somewhere less visible with no warning!

And searching the support site for "see previous password" turned up nothing relevant.

I'm sorry for the confusion, password history was moved to the password field menu in version 7.7 back in November 2020. I've forwarded your feedback about improvements to the documentation of this feature to our documentation team. 😊
