Thanks @ag_kevin - I am re-pasting my use case from my previous comment:
“One reason that I use reveal password so frequently is because of my work environment. Due to corporate policy, I cannot install 1Password on my work laptop, and our corporate firewall blocks the 1Password.com website. As a result, I have to extract all of my 1Password data from my phone and type it in manually on my work computer. So while pinned fields help for the most common use cases, they don’t come close to covering all 1Password needs throughout the work week.”
I agree that copying is generally preferred as the default action when both 1Password and the app/webpage you’re filling are on the same device. That’s why I’m suggesting the “eye” icon next to all password fields. If you want the default copy behavior, tap on the field as you normally do. If you want to reveal the password, tap on the “eye” icon just like you can do when typing your master password on the lock screen.
Thanks for listening!
