Reveal Password

[Aleck Cobbs]

As you can see from the image, the reveal password button (eye icon) is the next sequential thing for the browser to focus. As such, without explicitly adding tabindex attributes to the fields, the order of focus will be:

When I use this, I find it slightly irritating (I want tab to take me to the next input). As such, I'm tempted to change the tab index so that the reveal password buttons are selected last (after all inputs and the change password button), but I feel like this is a choice informed by my own habits/preferences rather than anything else.

Avoid using tabindex values greater than 0. Doing so makes it difficult for people who rely on assistive technology to navigate and operate page content. Instead, write the document with the elements in a logical sequence.

Keyboard users, screen reader users (they will hear the password instead of "8 bullet" for example), and users with cognitive disabilities will most definitely be using the icon, and it would be very confusing to dissociate the icon from the form field it refers to. Keep it in the default (and appropriate) tab order.

Pinned fields will default to copying the value of the field, but it is actually possible to change the default behavior on a per-field basis. If you Tap and Hold a pinned field, you should be able to tap "Default Action" and there you will be able to toggle between "Copy" and "Show in Large Type".

To help understand and advocate for your requests, can you elaborate on the use cases that you have for revealing vs copying? From what we have seen, copying is the desired command far more often since you can copy the password, switch to another app, and paste it. And this is usually for cases where the extension or the autofill feature couldn't do it for you.

I already noticed this change as I got 1Password 8 for iOS finally today (and in the TestFlight now, after checking every day for two months for a slot, ha). I'm happy enough with most changes so far, but a single tap to reveal a (non-large, ideally--that's hard to read!) password is definitely necessary. I use this on my Mac regularly and also my phone. For example, I'm occasionally working with computers (I'm an IT consultant) that are new and I need to enter administrative credentials visually from my phone into the computer.

Or, I occasionally hand check deposits at my front desk with the check scanner when my front desk person is out of the office on vacation. I log into the computer with a Yubikey and AzureAD, but my bank requires a company number/username/password and then a PIN and 6-digit code from their own hardware ID. I don't want to install 1Password on that computer as I don't use it otherwise, so I'm fine typing the bank password in, but need to do so visually from my phone screen.

I'm usually in a hurry, and want to just tap to reveal--it's long, and shows up much better in the text box than with the Large Type field, as well. I don't use it often, so I don't want to pin it, but I do have it in my Favorites--it's already been annoying to have to open the item to view the password (the Favorites list in 1Password 7 and then reveal the password (the drop down means not waiting for tap-and-hold) and type it. Tap-and-hold is too long, it should be reserved for much more infrequent things now that Apple killed Force Touch where I could just hard-tap faster to access what is now tap-and-hold (now that Force Touch is sadly entirely dead--so nice to force touch the keyboard to position the text caret, now a long-touch wait on the space bar is required to do the same :-( )

Yep. Leave it is as user own choice as a possibility to customize behaviour. Do not anticipate what most of your users usually do. I suppose it is not a rocket science to make it personally customized.

I also have the use case of using 1Password 8 on my phone to access passwords that I then type in on a variety of other devices: work laptop, spouse's laptop, some annoying app/site on my iPad that autofill won't work on and it's easier to to reference it from my phone than try and switch between apps on the iPad.

Hi - I'm not sure when this happened, but I just noticed in the iOS beta earlier this week that there's a new triple-dot menu that contains an option to "Reveal" any concealed fields. This is just what I was looking for - thank you!

I'm going to add my 2 cents here: I constantly need to be able to SEE the password and having to touch it to get it revealed is super annoying and time wasting. If I open the app to get a password, and navigate to that item in the app, I want to see the pw I am seeking as quickly as possible without having to do any extra steps. No one is looking over my shoulder trying to see my passwords, so show it to me with as few keystrokes as possible please. I'd like a default where if I navigate to a login record, the pw is defaulted to be visible. Thanks for intaking my opinion on this.

Yes, we have a permission called "reveal password" which when checked allows the user to reveal the password, and when unchecked (assuming they have read access) allows them to use it, but not view it. You can see this in the admin panel when you edit a team member, vault, or group.

1Password for Teams offers some nice options for limiting what team members can do with shared vaults. For example, you can specify different permissions such as Read/Write/Export or even lower level permissions. These permissions are set when sharing a vault with a Team Member. You will see a gear next to the Team Member on the Vault page within the Administration Console. Clicking on that gear will open a menu where you can set the various permissions.

One of those options is Reveal passwords. If you deselect this permission then the 1Password apps will respect this setting and not allow that team member to reveal or copy passwords in that vault. While the team member can not see or copy that password they can use 1Password to fill that password into websites when they need to log in.

I had followed the forum, but the problem I do have is with copy the password. I mean when i uncheck the checkbox Reveal the password it does not allow my team to copy the password as well.Please help me with the option that does not reveal the password but allow me to copy the password.

Does the removal of the ability to reveal passwords prevent copy? It probably should, as a user who can copy the password can then just paste it plainly into any non-password field or a text editor and there they have it.

I might guess that this feature was designed to be used by those who live within the apps, and not by those who only have access to the web GUI. In the desktop/mobile app, you can rely on the auto-fill (most of the time, so long as the ducks line up), but in the web GUI only world where I'm forced to live for work purposes, not being able to copy the password would prevent it from ever being used.

@raj31581 @smallcheese This permission does indeed remove the copy ability. After all, someone could paste the password in any other text field and see it, so that defeats the purpose of having reveal disabled. ;) This post and thread have a lot more info on how this works and how it shouldn't be used. I'm sorry if the permission caused some confusion, though. Let us know if this helps!

I'm usually pretty lenient regarding bugs but this one is ridiculous, also makes me concerned about how secure the app is overall. I use this app at work and am now constantly looking over my shoulder when opening encrypted notes.

With the recent price increase, this is not the type of thing I would expect to see and it definitely makes me want to reconsider. I only use this app because it's convenient and I've been using it for years. There are other options..

I am having the same issue, any resolution provided at this point? I am wondering if this was because of the recent Ai integration. Which concerns me more, this would mean their Ai tool could be potentially reading our passwords as we type them in.

Correct. That has always been the case. In fact, in the earliest stage no acknowledgement was provided at all. It seems you at least now get an automated reply with information on how to proceed if you need a reply.

Now is there any way to remove this button or show the password only while it is pressed? I've found really NOTHING on this topic on the internet except this askubuntu article asking for exactly the opposite what I want.

Side note: I've stumbled across this prior to asking this question but a bug in GNOME 40 prevented this setting from being recognized. The bug is now resolved and this solution works perfectly well for me now.

I lost my pppoe password, so I want to recover it from my router configuration setting but I am not succeeding after my lot of research on Internet. I used many password revealer tools but it can't help me actually they reveal's my password but after revealing another asterisk password appears

In inspect element mode of the browser and while you are on the password field change input type = password to input type = text :), man who would've thought hacking WiFi would be that easy through the browser.

I Know how to reveal that password in GPON ont, i was recently looking for PPPoE password too, i'm trying to change html code in inspect element, not working. I'm trying to access telnet on router, not working too, then i found 1 app for Windows, here it's called RouterPassView.

I can't provide you with precise instructions because you haven't specified you router's model, but what you want to do is to download a backup of your settings. Then you'll have to search for a tool or website that will allow you to decode backup file. The password should be readable in the output.

Whether you use a password manager like LastPass or let your browser store your passwords, your browser will always block the password box using asterisks for better security. To remove the mask and reveal your password, you just need to do a few things:

Have you ever forgotten the password to an important account? One of the most frustrating parts of entering a password can be those password dots that seem to blur our memory. It can be hard to remember which numbers, symbols, and letters you used at such a frustrating time.
