1Password Shortcuts: The Complete List for Windows, Mac, iOS & Linux

The fastest 1Password shortcut to know is Shift + Command + Space bar on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + Space bar on Windows and Linux. It opens Quick Access, a floating search box that lets you find and copy any item without leaving the app you’re working in.

Below is a complete, verified list of every 1Password keyboard shortcut across desktop, browser, and mobile, organized by platform so you can jump straight to the one you need.

Global Shortcuts

These work system wide, outside the 1Password window itself, once you’ve opened and unlocked the app at least once.

To set or change these, open and unlock 1Password, select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar, then go to Settings > General.

Mac Shortcuts

1Password App

*To enable this, go to Settings > Security and turn on Hold Option to toggle revealed fields.

Quick Access (Mac)

Windows Shortcuts

1Password App

*To enable this, go to Settings > Security and turn on Hold Ctrl+Alt to toggle revealed fields.

Quick Access (Windows)

iOS Shortcuts

These require an external keyboard connected to your iPhone or iPad. At any time, press and hold the Command key to see the available shortcuts on screen.

Android: What Is Different

1Password does not publish an official external-keyboard shortcut list for Android the way it does for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Linux, so a real “Android 1Password shortcuts” table would be guesswork. What is confirmed and genuinely useful on Android instead:

• Swipe or tap a login entry, then tap the three-dot button to copy the password directly, skipping the extra tap into item details.
• Android’s own system-level keyboard shortcuts (app switching, search) apply while 1Password is open, since 1Password on Android does not override them with app-specific bindings.
• If you regularly use an external keyboard with an Android phone or tablet, Android 16 and later expose a system shortcut helper that shows available bindings for the active app, which is currently the closest thing to an in-app cheat sheet for 1Password on Android.

If 1Password adds documented Android keyboard shortcuts, this section will be the first to reflect it.

Linux Shortcuts

Linux shortcuts differ depending on whether you’re running X11 or Wayland, and on Wayland, the setup differs again by desktop environment.

X11

Wayland (GNOME)

Open System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Customize Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts, then add each shortcut manually:

Wayland (KDE Plasma)

Go to System Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > Edit > New > Global Shortcut > Command/URL, then set:

Wayland (Sway)

Add these lines to your Sway config file:

bindsym Ctrl+P exec 1password –show
bindsym Ctrl+Shift+space exec 1password –quick-access
bindsym Ctrl+Shift+l exec 1password –lock

1Password App (Linux)

Most in-app shortcuts on Linux match the Windows set (Ctrl + F to search, Ctrl + N for a new item, Ctrl + E to edit, and so on). Two notable Linux-only points: Alt shows or hides the app menu in the title bar, and Ctrl + W is used to zoom out rather than close the window.

Browser Extension Shortcuts

To use these, install the 1Password browser extension first.

Safari shortcut customization is limited to the pop-up open/close shortcut and only in Safari 26 or later, set through Safari > Safari Extensions > 1Password for Safari.

Sign-in Prompt Shortcuts (all browsers)

How to Customize a 1Password Shortcut

In the desktop app: Open and unlock 1Password, select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar, go to Settings > General, then click into the shortcut field you want to change and enter a new combination.

In Chrome, Edge, or Brave: Click the 1Password icon in the toolbar, open the account menu in the top left of the pop-up, go to Settings > Appearance & shortcuts, then select Change keyboard shortcuts on your browser’s extensions page. This routes you to the browser’s own extension shortcut manager, since browsers control this setting, not the extension itself.

In Firefox: Same path as above: 1Password icon > account menu > Settings > Appearance & shortcuts > Change keyboard shortcuts on your browser’s extensions page.

In Safari: Go to Safari > Safari Extensions > 1Password for Safari and scroll to the shortcut field. This only works in Safari 26 or later, and only the open/close pop-up shortcut can be changed.

On Linux with Wayland: There’s no in-app customization panel. Instead, you bind the command-line flags (1password –show, 1password –quick-access, 1password –lock) to a key combination through your desktop environment’s own shortcut settings, as shown in the Linux section above.

1Password Shortcut Not Working?

A few common causes and fixes:

• The shortcut conflicts with another app. Command/Ctrl + Shift + X, for example, is the strikethrough shortcut in Google Docs, so pressing it there reopens the 1Password pop-up instead of formatting text. Change the 1Password shortcut through your browser’s extension settings if this happens.
• The browser is blocking the shortcut. Some browsers intercept certain key combinations before the extension receives them. Try the shortcut on a fresh tab, or reset it through the browser’s extension shortcut page.
• You’re on Wayland without a custom binding set up. Unlike X11, Wayland does not let 1Password register global shortcuts on its own. You have to bind the 1password –show, –quick-access, and –lock commands yourself through GNOME, KDE, or Sway settings.
• The shortcut was cleared or never set. The “Show 1Password” global shortcut has no default value. If it seems to not exist, that’s expected. Set one yourself in Settings > General.

FAQs

What is the default shortcut to open 1Password Quick Access?

Shift + Command + Space bar on Mac, and Ctrl + Shift + Space bar on Windows and Linux.

What is the shortcut to copy a password in 1Password?

Shift + Command + C on Mac, and Ctrl + Shift + C on Windows, Linux, and in the browser extension.

How do I copy a one-time password (2FA code) from 1Password?

Option + Command + C on Mac, and Ctrl + Alt + C on Windows and Linux.

Why does my 1Password browser shortcut conflict with Google Docs?

Because Shift + Command/Ctrl + X is also the default strikethrough shortcut in Google Docs. Change the 1Password shortcut through your browser’s extension shortcut settings to fix the conflict.

Can I set a custom global shortcut for 1Password on Linux with Wayland?

Yes, but not from inside 1Password itself. You bind the 1password –show, 1password –quick-access, and 1password –lock commands to a key combination through your desktop environment’s shortcut settings (GNOME, KDE Plasma, or your Sway config file).

Does 1Password have official keyboard shortcuts for Android?

No. 1Password documents shortcuts for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Linux, but not for Android. On Android, the fastest workflow is tapping the three-dot menu next to a login entry to copy a password directly.

Conclusion

Learning even a handful of these shortcuts changes how 1Password feels day to day. Quick Access alone removes the need to ever dig through folders for a login, and the copy shortcuts (Command/Ctrl + Shift + C for a password, Option/Ctrl + Alt + C for a one-time code) turn a five-click process into a two-key habit. Start with the global shortcuts for your platform, add the browser pop-up shortcuts once you’re comfortable, and customize anything that conflicts with another app you use daily.
