Hello khaaan! 👋

I'm sorry that you're unable to reveal passwords using the option key. Our developers are aware of the issue and are investigating. The issue usually occurs when you completely close and then reopen the 1Password for Mac app and the following steps will fix things temporarily until the next time that you close and open the app:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on Settings.
  4. Click on Security.
  5. Turn off "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields".
  6. Turn on "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields".

We hope to resolve the issue permanently with a future update to 1Password.

-Dave
