1Password 8 missing old functionality

It used to let you optionally view your passwords individually by clicking ‘Show Password’ in a context menu on your phone. This was important for entering passwords on computers you don’t have control over. Now that option doesn’t exist as a context menu option. Instead it is a setting buried under security. Unfortunately you can either show all your passwords all the time or you can hide your passwords all the time. I have no option but to show all my passwords on everything, which makes me feel less secure. Also you cannot view the password you wanted to see in a large font. I have no idea why the team would choose to get rid of these features.

You used to be able to see your previous passwords. This was helpful when you have to change a password in a few days and want to prepare in advance so you can practice typing it for familiarity, while still having the old password a couple clicks away. Now I guess I’ll have to copy the previous passwords in a note field under the password instead, again leaving me feeling less secure.

But I guess the app looks prettier, so…

I’m going back to version 7 until they hopefully bring back these abilities.
