Hi, welcome to the first video of a new
series called Tip Tuesday that's going to help you make the most out of Secrets. My name is Paulo, let's get to it. For this first video, we're going
to start with something simple, getting a password out of Secrets. Sounds easy, right? And it is, but stick around, you
may just pick up something new. I already have Secrets open here,
I can, of course, hover over the password field, click the copy button,
and then paste it anywhere I want. If I just want to see the password, I can
click the arrow button and choose Reveal. By the way, you can open the same
menu on your iPhone or iPad by long pressing on the password field. But, there's an even faster
way of seeing your password. Just press the Option key. While the Option key is pressed, Secrets
will review any concealed data in the UI. Be it passwords, security codes
and pins, or concealed notes. And if you have an iPad with a
keyboard attached, the Option key works in the same way. If you're like me and prefer to
use Secrets with the detail pane closed, you don't actually have
to drill down every time you want to copy a password or username. You can just use the context
menu, or the keyboard shortcut. Command+C in this case. If you want to copy the username
instead, just press the Option key again. Note how the menu item
changes to Copy Username. And you can go a step further. If you press the Shift key, you'll
now get the One Time Password. Of course, these keyboard
shortcuts work for every other item type, not just logins. For example, with a credit card. Command+C copies the card number,
Option+Command+C copies the security code, and Shift+Command+C copies the card holder. That's it for this tip, thanks
for watching, see you next time.
