CMD + OPT Return Reveals My Password!

1P is designed so OPT will reveal my password. 1P is also designed so that CMD+OPT+Return will Fill Login in Browser. Unfortunately OPT is a subset of CMD+OPT+Return so when I try to use that shortcut to login to a site, for a potentially not very brief moment, my password is revealed. This is true even if I hold down the CMD key first.

This doesn't feel very secure. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi @martinnel,

    I can understand your concern with this situation as I never enjoy exposing my password unless I need to.

    My suggestion is that you alter your workflow slightly not only to avoid revealing your password but also to save you time.

    Currently it sounds like this is your process:
    1. Go to the 1Password app
    2. Open the login you want to go to
    3. Press CMD+OPT+Return

    There are three other ways you can accomplish this without revealing your password:

    A. Via Browser Extension - This is how I use 1Password almost 90% of the time.
    1. Open a new tab in your browser
    2. Press CMD+\
    3. Type in the name of the login you want
    4. Hit enter

    B. Via 1Password Mini
    1. Press CMD+OPT+\
    2. Type in the login you want
    3. Hit enter

    C. Via the 1Password app
    1. Go to the 1Password App
    2. Open the login you want to goto
    3. Double click on the login

    Does that help?
