1Password 8 Beta: Password Font
Hi all. I'm testing the version 8 beta and thought I'd give one bit of feedback:
I miss the font used for password when they're revealed in 1P 7. The font in 8 seems significantly less readable. I...
Sure can! (Sorry, inner font nerd unleashing...)

Notice it's changed from a mono-spaced with serifs to a sans-serif, variable-width font. Note, for example, that the lowercase "i" has much less to distinguish it from something like a lowercase "l" (elle).
Due to those changes the version 7 font was about 15% wider:
All of that adds up to make it require a lot closer inspection to my eye. That "rim" section takes pretty close inspection to distinguish on a small screen at any kind of distance (if it's on a second monitor, for example).
