How to recover previous password?

madflute

I accidentally updated the password of an item and need to go back to the previous one. I sware there used to be a password history but can't find it anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

@madflute ,

Click the downward facing arrow at the end of the Password field, and select View password history.

Thanks for this @MrC! I didn't realize where this functionality moved to either.

Note for the 1Password team: pressing the [option] key doesn't reveal passwords in the password history modal (assuming you have that setting enabled in preferences).

Thank you @MrC 🎊

Hi @madflute / @skatch:

I'm glad @MrC was able to get you sorted. As for the reveal option not working, this is something we're tracking, and I've added your voice to the issue. Thanks for letting us know!

Oh man, this was driving me nuts! Thank you for helping me find it.

Feedback to the 1Password folks: this is not discoverable, and I also wish the password field in the modal responded to option key presses.

Hopefully, the team can address this in the future. This user could also use that ability. 😉

I'll second that this is not very discoverable, in fact the online help doesn't tell you that it exists, It says you need to login via the web to see the password history: https://support.1password.com/item-history/
I'd update that page to show where to find it in the app.

Hi @AlexWT:

Thanks for your feedback on this! I'll share it with the appropriate team.

There's a lot of functionality hidden behind arrows and hard to find menus. On Windows, 2/3 of the pane used to display a login is blank, plenty of room for buttons. Same on iOS, let us see actions by scrolling down rather than fishing for long press menus. It's not the first time I have to turn to the forum to find something that should be easy to find.
