Holding down option (⌥) / alt to reveal passwords
Hello!
In 1Password 7 for Mac (and earlier versions I believe), there was the option (haha) to hold down the option key (⌥) to reveal passwords and secrets briefly.

Ben,
I understand your concern about providing the most safe way to hold password, and thus your worries that some information might be inadvertently revealed while screen sharing. I get that, really.
But I also know that you certainly have a variety of users, some less educated and some much more.
More educated users know, for example, that they should share just one window at a time, not just to avoid revealing passwords by accident, but also to avoid revealing any other kind of information that might be on their desktop.
And more educated users could choose to use a potentially less secure – but at the same time much more convenient – shortcut to quickly reveal their passwords.
So, maybe use a more robust shortcut as a default and warn the user that using a shortcut like just ⌥ is potentially dangerous, but let the user choose this, please.
