Has the simple way to Reveal a Password disappeared in 1Password 8?

In 1Password 7, I could see a password quickly and easily by option-clicking on the password field. That useful feature seems to have disappeared in version 8. Why did you drop this and other useful features? Or is there a way to see a password that is as simple, quick, and intuitive as it was under version 7?

1Password Version: 8.7.3
Extension Version: 2.3.5
OS Version: macOS `2.4
Browser:_ Safari 15.5

    I agree - this was a simple good feature and it is now lost. The only option I can see on the ios app is that you have the passwords revealed all the time (Settings > Security > Always show passwords and full credit card numbers). There is no simple reveal option.

    Hello Nekoninda! 👋

    You can enable the ability to reveal a password by pressing the Option button by following these steps:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click on Preferences.
    4. Click on Security.
    5. Check "Hold Option to toggle revealed fields".

    I hope that helps. 😊
