Suggestion - Auto Purge Passwords

1b_

Occasionally, when signing into a new site (and saving that password in the process), 1Password seems to create a "login" (with username and password), and then also a "password" entry, with just the password.

It then goes on to add both of these entries to the "Reused Passwords" section in Watchtower.

It would be great if these "password" entries could be automatically purged, as it is obvious that the same password is being stored in a "login" entry for the same site also.

We're actually planning to either clean these up automatically for you, @1b_ or possibly do away with Password items as a backup method entirely and going with 1Password X's method of maintaining a generated password history. Regardless of the exact mechanism we end up going with on Windows, improvements are on the roadmap for a future update.

In the meantime, these actually shouldn't show up in the Reused Passwords section of Watchtower. Watchtower ignores any items reusing the same password so long as they have the same domain in the website field. When you generate a new password for a website, it saves the site you're on in the website field so that it will match its corresponding Login item. You can probably see how this isn't a perfect methodology. If you don't have your browser in focus when you generate the password, for example, it might not pick up the right URL. Plus, if you're generating a password for an app, rather than a website, it may have no URL at all. Regardless, most of them should be skipped and we will definitely have some improvements for those that don't down the road. :+1:
