Feature Request - Do not expose password

<div class="IPBDescription">Do not expose passwords when application is unlocked</div>It would be great to have the passwords showed like •••• with a "reveal" button showing when the mouse goes over the field (just as the "copy" one).



I'd like the passwords to be "hidden" in the application for the following reasons:

- When someone passes behind me he can see the password of the last opened item directly

- If someone asks something like: "Is 1password good? Can you show me?" I cannot show him without disclose my passwords





I dunno if this has been asked before but it would be really helpful. Thx

    Does View > Conceal Passwords not do the trick for you?

    Hi Bruno, welcome to the forums!



    1Password already have the ability to conceal the passwords. As Penelope as mentioned, the option to set this is via 1Password's View Menu > Conceal Passwords.



    To reveal the password, press and hold the option key to view it. You can always hover the password to get the copy to clipboard feature.



    We have an article on this:

    I hope that helps!
