Conceal passwords shortcut?

Why did you remove the "conceal passwords" shortcut? I thought it was quite handy and used it a lot.



Another thing I noticed: I tried to create a custom shortcut via system preferences - keyboard, but that didn't work. Did you disable support for this method?

    Hi om3ga,



    Did you mean the option key shortcut for viewing concealed password? If so we didn't remove it, it still works fine in 3.9 for me. If that isn't working for you let me know and we'll try to track it down. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

    Hey woodruff!



    Very strange indeed! I am talking about the shortcut to toggle display/conceal passwords ... was ALT CMD P or CTRL ALT P ... something like that. Pressing ALT still displays passwords, but only as long as I'm pressing it.



    This one - shortcut missing, since upgrading to 3.9:

    hmm. okay. It does appear that 3.8 has this option, so I'm not really sure why 3.9 does not.

    I will check into that for you.

    It sounds like the issue here is twofold.



    (1) The default keyboard shortcut was removed since it contained the Option key and this led to great confusion with the Option key toggling password visibility "on the fly".



    (2) I was able to reproduce the problem of not being able to set custom keyboard shortcuts via System Preferences. This looks like a Lion bug. We'll investigate a bit further, but we may not be able to resolve this one ourselves.
