Minor Feature request: Reset (check) Conceal Password option on Item Switch or App Close
in Mac
Sometimes, in order for the password to be visible while I manually type the password to an unsupported system (Mobile App for example), I uncheck the "Conceal Password" menu item.
I would like that option to revert back to its default setting after some time. Usually I return to 1P a day later and I am surprised to see all passwords visible in plain text.
If this is not intuitive, may be you could add a menu option ( or a keyboard shortcut meant only for power users <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> ) for "Show password temporarily".
I already know I can hold the Option key and display the password. But that doesn't let me take my hand off to do whatever else I need to do (say, on my phone) to type the password.
Thanks

Hey Harry,
That's a really interesting suggestion and frankly I was doing something earlier that I would have loved to have had this feature. We'll keep it in mind for future versions though I can't make any promises.Flag 0 -
You can hold down the Alt key for this.Flag 0

Yes, I am familiar with that (see post above). Sometimes I need to see a long generated password while I tried to enter that on a phone (takes time and I have to take my hand off the Alt/Option key). So the menu option is good. But it would have been nice for that option to reset to the "safe" default , may be when the program returns after auto-lock. Again, this is a minor inconvenience, not a big deal.
Thanks Chris and Stefan for the quick response.Flag 0 -
On behalf of Chris and Stefan, you are most welcome! <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
We will take your suggestion under advisement as we move forward. I can certainly see the use case for it.
I hope your week is off to a good start.
