1Password keyboard shortcuts for Windows, Mac and Linux
In 1Password 8 on Windows and Linux, Ctrl+Shift+Space opens Quick Access, Ctrl+\ fills in your browser and Ctrl+Shift+L locks 1Password. In the app, Ctrl+Shift+C copies a password. On a Mac, Quick Access is Option+Cmd+\, or Shift+Cmd+Space on macOS 26 or earlier.
These are the 1Password keyboard shortcuts for the 1Password 8 desktop app, Quick Access and the browser extension, from 1Password's support page (published September 3, 2026, checked October 2, 2026). The page has separate tabs for Mac, Windows and Linux. Linux uses the same Ctrl keys as Windows inside the app, but sets its global shortcuts differently on Wayland, as explained below.
You can change the global shortcuts: open and unlock 1Password, select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar, then choose Settings > General. Inside the app, Ctrl+Shift+/ (Windows and Linux) or Cmd+/ (Mac) shows every shortcut.
At the end, you will find the same jobs in Barside, a free desktop app with a built-in password manager.
Global 1Password keyboard shortcuts
These work outside the app. As of October 2026:
| Action | Windows | Mac | Linux (X11) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show 1Password | Set your own | Set your own | Set your own |
| Show Quick Access | Ctrl+Shift+Space | Option+Cmd+\ (macOS 26 or earlier: Shift+Cmd+Space) | Ctrl+Shift+Space |
| Lock 1Password | Ctrl+Shift+L | Shift+Cmd+L | Ctrl+Shift+L |
| Autofill, or fill in the browser | Ctrl+\ | Cmd+\ | Ctrl+\ |
On Linux with Wayland, you create global shortcuts in your desktop's own settings (GNOME, KDE Plasma or Sway) with the commands 1password --show, 1password --quick-access and 1password --lock. 1Password's examples use Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+Space and Ctrl+Shift+L.

The same jobs in Barside
Barside's built-in password manager works with buttons rather than keys. It fills logins in Chrome, Brave and Edge on Windows, and copies them for you to paste on Linux. There is no master password: your system encrypts the logins for your user account. Every Barside key below is on the Barside keyboard shortcuts sheet.
| Action | 1Password (Windows) | Barside (Windows and Linux) |
|---|---|---|
| Open the password manager from any app | Set your own | No default: give Passwords a hotkey, or type pw in the search bar |
| Quick Access | Ctrl+Shift+Space | Not in Barside |
| Fill a login in the browser | Ctrl+\ | No shortcut: open Passwords on the login page and press Fill (Windows) |
| Copy the username / password | Ctrl+C / Ctrl+Shift+C | No shortcut: Copy username / Copy password |
| Copy a one-time password | Ctrl+Alt+C | No shortcut: the copy button next to the two-step code |
| Lock | Ctrl+Shift+L | No shortcut: Passwords closes when you lock your computer |
| Open settings | Ctrl+, | No shortcut: type settings in the search bar |
In Barside for Mac, Passwords copies your username and password, as on Linux.
Tips
- Two apps, one hotkey. 1Password's Quick Access and Barside's show or hide hotkey both default to
Ctrl+Shift+Space. Only one app can hold a global hotkey. If Barside cannot get it, Settings → Hotkeys and aliases says it "is used by another app", and you can pick another combination there. - Copied passwords and clipboard history. A password that Barside copies is marked private, so Barside's own clipboard history skips it.
- Learn the lock key.
Ctrl+Shift+L(orShift+Cmd+L) locks 1Password from anywhere, which is handy when you step away.
