See password when opening 1Password

rschumm

I use a phrase with some numbers & other characters as my main password to open 1Password in Windows and Android phone. Very easy to make a mistake while typing. It would be helpful if we could toggle the view to see what we've typed (not '***************' )to allow correction rather than starting new.

Hi @rschumm,

Thanks for writing in.

We'll look into it. The best way to handle this is to switch to a wordlist-based master password to reduce the chances of mistyping. A 5-word password can be just as strong as the random characters of certain length, especially if you have a word that's mistyped or append a simple number to it. For an example, there is no need to mix upper/lower-case characters (a common cause of typos), most password crackers already factor this in.
