4 years agoThanks! This was default behavior in 1P7 so it just didn't occur to me to look for it in settings, but as you said it doesn't work in "View Password History" anyway.
The Command+R shortcut also doesn't work in the Password History view, but there is another interesting behavior here. When I select "View password history", the Password History always seems to cover up the current password field in the main window. If I hit the Command+R shortcut with the Password History open, it looks like it had no effect. However, it actually gets passed through to the main
window and reveals the current password, so the current password is unexpectedly visible when I dismiss the Password History. The first time this happened, I didn't realize how I got into that state, so I was extremely surprised when pressing the Option key temporarily concealed the password and then revealed it again when I released the Option key. I think the Command+R shortcut should either apply only to the Password History entries, or be disabled entirely, while the Password History view is open. Having it reveal a password when you can't even see what is being revealed seems dangerous.
