Hello @scottwslavin! 👋

To see a previous password for an item in the 1Password for Mac app you can do the following:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on the item that you wish to view.
  3. Hover over the password field.
  4. Click on the down arrow on the right of the password field.
  5. Click View Password History.

You will only see the View Password History option if there are previous passwords.

If you have a 1Password account then you can also restore previous versions of your items on 1Password.com: View and restore previous versions of items

I hope that helps! 🙂
