What's the fastest way to change reused passwords?

As I'm working my way through 300 logins with reused passwords, I'm wondering what the pro tips / best practices are to speed this up.

For instance, it seems like I could:
1. Regenerate all reused passwords
2. "Open and fill" each login, one at a time, to get to the login page (that won't actually fill)
3. Click on "Forgot password"
4. Receive the email or whatever to reset the password
5. Copy the regenerated password from 1P, and paste into "New Password" field

Although that process seems less intuitive, logging into each site, and then hunting for the Change Password button is proving to be a helluva lot slower than just "Forgot password".

So, to the community, what process have you found that streamlines / approximates "batch" editing?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @markaceto!

    I personally go through the regular "change password" procedure on the website. If I have the credentials for that website, I don't go through the forgot password procedure, so I can do everything directly on the website.

    1. Copy the regenerated password from 1P, and paste into "New Password" field

    Here I personally just use 1Password to fill the old and new password on the website, I don't even copy and paste it from the app ;)
