How do I see previous passwords

I am using 1PW 1Password 7
Version 7.9.3 (70903004)
Mac App Store

I read that I should be able to see previous passwords for a login by hovering over my password -- That is not working for me. My MacOS is current. Safari in my primary browser, but I don't think my browser should matter since I am in the 1PW application.

I also see this feature exists in iOS -- I did not know that, but I can't find it there either.

Here is where I look -

Open 1PW
Search for a site name --
Select the 1PW entry the Search feature finds
Move/hover my mouse pointer over the word "password" or the actual password displayed in the login window and I see no previous passwords.

At one time I could see previous passwords if I clicked the "Edit" option for the login -- but not now.

Any suggestions?

1Password Version: 7.9.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: MacOS 12.3
Referrer: forum-search:previous passwords

    The instructions in the link don't work for me --

    I want to do this in the 1PW Mac version - that used to work. The link you provided has two issues.

    1 This procedure only claims to apply to the Archive Vault -- the system I want worked with any login in any vault.

    2 The Manage Permission description requires/describes icons I do not see.

    My wife and I are the only Family members. We only use a single vault -- a Shared vault named "Shared". We both have complete authority to manage everything (I am not sure how we set this up -- I was the original organizer when the family plan first existed and that is how we set things up.

    When I click on the Shared Vault (or any other Vault for that matter) the symbol described in step 4 (a Gear or Settings symbol) does not exist. The only symbols the "All Vaults" symbol in the sidebar and the symbols in each individual login - things like make a Favorite and Share.
