Hello Mork! 👋

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.

It sounds like you're already following those steps. You will only see the View Password History option if there are previous passwords.

If you still don't see the password history then can you tell me if you changed the password in a Login item (not another type of item) and that you changed the default password field and not a custom password field?
