Feature Request: Multiline password field

When I want to save security codes for Two Factor Authentication or similar data in 1Password, I must select if save it formatted with multiline but not protected to the view in a text field or save it in a password field, but loosing the formatted multiline format.

Can you add a new multiline and protected field?

Thanks for your work !

  • Please consider this is a critical missing feature from 1password for developers and business. There are so many cases of multi-line secrets that need to be properly secured. `.env` files, JSON files, PEM/PK files, etc...

    Attached files are super hard to manage in 1-password - especially if they are being regularly updated (like sharing a `.env` file with a dev team).

    All we're asking is for the UX to hide the value by default just like the password field. Very simple I'd think! 

    Please consider pushing this to the top of the priority queue. It's a quick win!

    I'm a long time 1password fan, but this feature has been ignored for years and it's starting to be a concern for me. I'm not quite ready to shop for alternatives, but you need to know this is important!

    Thank you.

    I have back up codes for accounts (eg a list of 30 backup codes for Steam app) and it's a multiline, monospaced block of formatted text that I'd like to keep passworded.

    I'd like this too. My use case is saving sensitive multi-line text, like a list of 2FA recovery codes or a JSON object containing cryptographic information.

    Right now, either I have to smush them into a one-line password field, or they're always visible on the screen when I'm viewing the record, exposing me to an unnecessary over-the-shoulder attack.

    I want this feature too. Would be very helpful to store backup seed phrase for example

    Hello @OscarJS,

    Thanks for your feature request. Given this use case, I can understand where the ability to conceal certain types of (multi-line) data in fields other than passwords, would be useful.

    I've filed a feature request internally to share your idea with our Product team. They regularly review feature requests from our customers to consider what should be added to future versions of 1Password. Your feedback, along with feedback from our other customers, helps them immensely with their planning.

    If you have any future suggestions, please let us know. We're always here to help!
