I'm using 1Password 5 on Mac OSX Yosemite (10.10). Just upgraded from 1Password 3.

When viewing information on logins and passwords, the password itself is not revealed by default. Instead one has to click on the dropdown next to the password and click "reveal".

This is tedious and annoying. I was able to keep my passwords revealed in my previous version of 1Password.

How can I make the passwords revealed by default?

Thank you.

    Hi @glowgirl,

    You can change whether passwords are revealed or concealed by default in the View menu. Simply click on the 'Conceal Passwords' option to uncheck it.

    As if you prefer to keep them concealed you can always press the option key for a quick reveal.
