For license item types, is it possible to obscure the license key the same way passwords are obscur?

On a screen share or something, I occasionally need to log in to some system. It would be nice if license keys were obscured the same way passwords are so if someone over your shoulder, recording, or on a screen share isn't able to use that license key to download and install software as me.

Also, I know it's probably not the greatest idea to do a quick search while on a screen share in 1Password, but I do maintain a strong discipline about not having anything sensitive saved anywhere it can be seen. It would be nice if license keys made it possible to maintain sensitivity there as well. Maybe a second suggestion would be (if browsers/screen share tech makes it possible) to not show the 1PasswordX popup when on screen share.

    Hi @Vash!

    Yes, you can use a custom password field for this, and make it look like this:

    Hi, thanks for the help! I suppose this is more of a feature request then that I was asking could be considered since, for me, it feels like a security issue that nobody should have to think about generally and take extra steps for every license item to implement themselves. I would consider license keys sensitive in the same way as passwords, whereas other information which is generally visible (such as version) doesn't feel as sensitive.

    I don't think they can be compared to passwords, but I see how it could be useful to mask this information in certain scenarios like the one you showed. I will be happy to pass the feedback to the team :+1:
