    Controlling the password visibility

    By default, 1Password will conceal your passwords because the risk of exposing your passwords is high if someone looks over your shoulder. However, you can easily control the visibility of your passwords within the 1Password application.

    1. Use the menu bar option View > Conceal Passwords to toggle password visibility.
    2. Use the Option (⌥) key to get a quick peek at the password(s) of the current item.
      (Passwords will be hidden again as soon as you release the Option key.)

    Note that neither the option key nor the Conceal Passwords setting will reveal passwords on an actual web page where you (or 1Password) have filled in a password. Password fields on websites are concealed automatically by your browser.
