How to turn off alt key revealing password

in 1Password 4 for Windows

When I am screen sharing with my colleagues, every time I have the 1password window open, and I hit alt-tab to switch applications, the password gets revealed. I'd rather turn that off, if possible. I can still hit the "reveal" button if I do need to see the password. This occurs with the Windows app and the website version. This is a feature request.

    @dbristow: Ctrl R is the shortcut to reveal a single password, and Ctrl Alt is used to reveal all password fields in the currently viewed item. Similarly, the 1Password.com web interface uses Alt as the hotkey to reveal passwords. It sounds like your screen sharing software may be sending Ctrl on its own, so that when you press Alt 1Password reveals any password fields in either. Is there maybe a setting you can use in it to avoid that? We can certainly consider changing this in 1Password, but I haven't heard others requesting something similar. What software are you using?
