Holding down option (⌥) / alt to reveal passwords

Why not make the shortcut configurable and explicitly allow to set just a modifier key without any additional key? The default could be an ordinary modifier + key. Anyone who likes to could then change to Alt / Option only.

Hey folks. ⌘R isn't applicable to the browser extension. We don't have a keyboard shortcut to reveal there, at this point. I too liked ⌥, but it caused problems for a lot of folks particularly w/r/t screen sharing.

I really liked the elegance of the 1PW 7 solution just pressing Option/Alt although I see that it might be problematic in screen sharing situation.

This is just one more thing that is really annoying in 8.

Yeah, cmd-r isn't exactly a great choice when using something in combination with a browser. ;)

I'm glad to see the return of similar functionality in the 80202080 build, but I don't care for how the new ⌘R shortcut for revealing passwords conflicts with the default browser shortcut for reloading pages. On my system (Big Sur 11.6, if that matters), pressing ⌘R while using the 1Password browser extension results in the page being reloaded, and doesn't have any effect on the extension window. While I'd personally prefer to just be able to down the Option key to reveal passwords again, if that's no longer going to be a, well, option, I would like to be able to either customize the reveal shortcut so it doesn't conflict with other browser shortcuts I frequently use, or for the extension to capture the shortcut rather than the browser.

Hey @yspreen

We found opt / alt to be problematic, but are investigating an alternative. Additional explanation is available here.

I've been searching for that feature for a while now but I don't believe it exists anymore. Big sad. I feel like it was one of my most used 1pw 7 features!
