Hi,
In some accounts, 1Password doesn't let me see and reveal the password and show me "DummyPass".
Any idea why it happens and how can I make it show me the real password?

Thank you

    Hi @ofirkaner‌,

    Thanks for taking the time to write to us :smile:

    Pressing the option key will reveal your Login's password in both 1Password and 1Password mini's detail view.

    Cheers!

    Hi,
    I know this shortcut. the problem is that when I press the option key, then I get the "dummypass" instead of showing me the real password.

    look at the link for a screenshot: before - http://cl.ly/image/0u3E103S1u2R

    Honestly that looks like the password was saved as "dummypass" maybe during an experiment when you were trying to get use to using 1Password ?

    You might look a little further down on the login item and check the show previous passwords section. AFAIK there has never been an option to inset a dummy password. Thats the purpose of the hide reveal button.

    If no history is in the login item you can also try looking in the passwords section.

  • Yep -- dummypass is what you have saved in the password field for that login. :)

    guys...please give me some credit.
    this is not! the password. I tried to setup a new login for the specific site with a different password. 1password logs into the site with no problem but doesn't show me the real password!

  • @ofirkaner‌

    That may not be the password for the site, but it is what you have saved in 1Password for it.

    I meant no disrespect, I simply have no clue how long or familiar you are with 1Password.

    Might it be something with the site ? Might they have obscured 1Password from saving it somehow or replaced your correct one with a place holder type of entry ? I am not a developer so I have no clue.

    Maybe the correct one is saved in the password history ?

    Without providing private details can you provide a url for the staff to look at ?

    You would know better than I if such a thing would be possible.

  • Did you try the suggestions from @thightower above?
