Please consider exposing the complete item details in Quick Access "More options"

Sometimes I save additional information with a login besides just username and password--for example, my local library sometimes needs me to enter my barcode. With past versions of 1Password I could access this from the helper pop-up and do the whole thing from the keyboard without any special keybord shortcuts. The old flow was 1Password hotkey, right arrow, down arrow a few times, command-C, escape, command-V.

However, with the shift to Quick Access, the process is much more cumbersome. Now the sequence is 1Password hotkey, right arrow, swear to myself as I realise I've been duped by muscle memory, down arrow a few times to "Open in 1Password", switch to the mouse, click to copy the field I want, switch back to the keyboard, command-tab back to the app I want, command-V.

I am aware that I could skip one step in this by using command-shift-O to open the item in 1Password, but I don't need this often enough to remember that shortcut. And it doesn't solve the sequence-break of switching to the mouse. I am also aware that it is theoretically possible to get to the item fields in 1Password proper by the keyboard, but it requires multiple tab keystrokes where it's extremely non-obvious where the next press of the tab key will take you or when down-arrow becomes available.

It would be a lot less painful if I could just get at the rest of the fields from Quick Access. I can appreciate the logic of keeping the primary screen to just username and password but it would be great if the rest of the fields were available from "More options".

Thanks.

    Hello @ideabucket! 👋

    I'm sorry to hear that you're finding it more cumbersome to access custom fields. As you mentioned, you can access custom fields from Quick Access in three steps:

    1. Open Quick Access.
    2. Search for the item.
    3. Press Command+O to open the item in a new window.

    That being said, if you need information from an item's custom fields for a website like your library's then you can also use 1Password in the browser with only keyboard shortcuts to access a custom field and copy it to your clipboard:

    1. Press Shift-Command-X to open 1Password in the browser.
    2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the custom field and then press enter to copy the custom field's data.
    3. Press Escape to close 1Password in the browser.
    4. Paste as needed.

    Let me know if that helps. 🙂
