How To: Reveal passwords without editing

OS X has a couple of password entry boxes which don't allow pasting, forcing you to type in the password. When I get prompted for one of these, I currently have to go to 1Password, find the 1Password item, click Edit, put my cursor inside the item password field to edit it so that it's revealed, go to the password entry box, type it in while reading from the 1Password item password field, and then Cancel the edit.

A simple reveal button would eliminate the need to Edit and cancel the Edit, reducing the risk that I accidentally modify the password.

    Toggle View > Conceal Passwords in the menu bar.

    Or…just hold down the Option key on your keyboard. :)
