Pressing Option key to reveal hidden passwords stops working after restarting 1Password

1P_Dave sorry for opening a duplicate thread. I swear I checked first, and didn't see this one 😇

I'm sorry that you're also affected by the issue. Our developers are investigating and we hope to release a fix in the future.

In the meantime, you can use the workaround that I described here or use Command + R to reveal the fields.

I've recently noticed that alt/option no longer reveals the masked passwords. I can't confirm this happened right after updating from macOS 13.4 to 13.5, but that's the last thing I did to my laptop.
The relevant setting in Settings > Security is still checked; I've tried both bluetooth and builtin keyboards.

1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.9 (81009046)
Extension Version: 2.13.0
OS Version: Version 13.5 (22G74)
Browser: Edge 114.0.1823.51

Can confirm same issue here on my machine, 1Password Version: 8.10.9, OS Version: 13.4.1, Apple M1.

Hold Option to toggle revealed fields will break on first launch of the app, and will work if uncheck the option and check again.

Also, the title of the Settings window will change upon the first modification of any setting, from Settings to <user account name> - <current selection in the main app sidebar> - 1Password. I'm not sure if there's anything related between these two bugs.

Sound good. You might also try Command + R.

Thanks for the reply, will give that a shot!

I'm seeing the same issue with the currently nightly on macOS (1Password for Mac 8.10.12 (81012013))

Toggling "Hold option to toggle revealed fields" doesn't help, but ⌘R does reveal the fields.

Holding option has been part of my muscle memory for years, so losing that functionality is fairly high-impact for me.

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.

I just installed the latest version of 1Password for Mac (8.10.9), and noticed that I can no longer reveal hidden fields by holding down the Option key. I do still see the setting under the Security tab for "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields", and it is checked. Did this feature break in a recent update?

Thanks!

1Password Version: 8.10.9

Hello @zebdro! 👋

I'm sorry that revealing passwords using the option key isn't working sometimes. 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, as you mentioned, 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".

Hopefully this can be permanently fixed in a future update soon. Thank you for reporting the issue.
