I tested and encountered the same behaviour you described with the manually created secret key field.
Do you have any other ideas for this? I am almost tempted to create a new 'dummy' 1password account, just to see how the initial entry is set up.
I'm not sure if it would be possible to set this up exactly as the original Starter Kit item.

So any manually created Starter Kit item will not mimic the behaviour of the original.
One option is to just keep it saved as a password field, then drag and drop the the secret key whenever you need it. At least that way you have it saved and not shown in plain text.
