Why are password items being generated in the password list in 1Password Mini?

Hi, I have over 100 items in my logins list, and lately I've been going to sites and updating to stronger passwords. As I do this, I've noticed new items appearing in the passwords list in 1PW Mini. The password is updated on the Logins list. Any idea where these new password items came from? Can they be deleted?

Some have the url of the site I updated. Others just say "1Password 7"

Thanks,
Joe

    Hi @joeg3

    This should be fixed up in 1Password for Mac v7.5. The intention is that generated passwords are saved in the passwords category until a login item is created with that same password. Once a login item is created the password item should be deleted automatically. We found a bug that made it such that the clean up wasn't happening automatically in all cases. We have a fix for that slated for v7.5.

    If you're sure the password has properly been recorded on a login item, you can delete the password item, yes. I hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
