Holding Option key to Reveal Passwords no longer works in 1PW v8

Hello,

I love 1Password 8 and the Knox design language. However, one very useful keyboard shortcut/feature that has been left behind in v7 is that when viewing a credential in the app, holding the option key would temporarily reveal the secret, and releasing the option key would conceal the secret again. This way, when viewing any secret throughout 1PW on the Mac, it was possible to view secrets on the fly pretty easily without any mouse clicking required.

Once this is fixed, it would be awesome if it could also be added to the browser extensions, though! In 1PW v7, it only existed in the actual desktop app or the menu bar mini-app, but not in either of the Safari or Chrome extensions. Having this shortcut work on the browser extensions too would be awesome, thanks!

1Password Version: 8.8.0
Extension Version: Safari & Chrome 2.3.7
OS Version: macOS 12.5
Browser:_ Not Provided

    Please enable the option within 1Password > Preferences > Security -- Concealed Fields -- Hold Option to toggle revealed fields (enable/disable) If you present your screen you may find that the option key can inadvertently reveal sensitive data. For this reason we introduced another shortcut that is command + R Press it once to reveal and again to conceal.
