ModeratorIf the password was masked in edit mode then how would you know that you typed the password into 1Password correctly? I foresee that an option to mask the password would create a situation where users would type in a password while masked and not know that they made a typo until they tried to use that password days or months later only to find out that it hadn't been accurately entered into 1Password.
Can you clarify a little further about what kind of threat you're trying to protect against? If you're concerned that you're in an area where someone might peek at your screen while editing a password then I would suggest that you wait to edit that password until you've moved to a safe area.
