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.
I understand that in the current preferences, there is a toggle to always have passwords/secrets visible. I also know I can click the small chevron on the side of the password or secret to reveal an item. But this is a regression, IMHO. Holding option is much faster than having to click an item in a sub-menu.
I hope this is something you can consider reimplementing (and I would be happy to see it on my PC as well!)

Hey @umbrealla17
I actually raised this issue myself. It's been one of my favorites for years now. I hope to see it return soon.

Pressing the ALT key no longer reveals passwords with the latest Early Access 1Password 8 for me. I normally keep the passwords hidden, in case 1Pw accidentally opens during a telco, but I do like to get instant keyboard access and visibility into what the passwords are, for instance to verify that I've saved the latest password into 1Pw. Will this feature come back before the official version 8 release?

No keyboard shortcut to reveal a password?
