Pressing Option key to reveal hidden passwords stops working after restarting 1Password

@fgilio

Thank you for your patience. Another workaround is to press ⌘R (Command–R) to show or hide concealed fields without having to hold the Option key.

That's not too bad, I'll try to get used to it. Thanks @1P_Dave

I too have this problem regularly, toggling it solves it in the short term but it is constantly returning. I know about cmd-R but option is muscle memory from years of 1pw use. Very frustrating.

@fgilio and @bed

I'm sorry for the frustration. Hopefully our developers can resolve the issue in a future update soon.

Clearly a problem in the startup not looking at saved values and using the default (unset). Doesn't seem like a difficult fix. So annoying.

The issue itself has been fixed in code, and it's now available in the Nightly version. It'll percolate down through the Beta and Production versions following the usual testing.

If you want to switch to the Nightly version, you can do so by following these steps: Use 1Password nightly releases.

Hi,
Hopefully this will be deployed very soon, as the ⌘R trick does not suit my needs. I often work on a train, with people around me that could be staring at my screen, so the Option key is very useful to check a field for half a second only.

If testing goes well we hope to include the fix in a production update soon. In the meantime, toggling "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields" off and then back on using the steps in a previous post will fix things until the next time that you restart the app.

Hello, here a gentle reminder that this issue is still happening on 1Password for Mac 8.10.13 (81013005).

Correct the proposed resolution is in the current beta release.
