I have a login entry with at least a dozen previous passwords. In the past, these were visible in the MacOS app, but now they are not. I can see them all in 1Password web and on my iPhone, but they don't show up in the MacOS app.


1Password Version: 7.7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.15.7
Sync Type: 1password account

  • Hi @dpisoni

    In 1Password 7.7, the password history option has been relocated. Open 1Password, and on the password section, click the downward-facing arrow. Once you do that, you will see the option for password history.

    I hope thatI hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

    Thank you, I see it now. Though IMHO it was better before: you could see more of them at once, and they were sorted from most recent to oldest – now you can only see 2 at a time, and the first to appear is the oldest.

    Our developers are collecting feedback about this, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about this as well :)

    Certainly! :)
    I expect perhaps your developers might not have had an example login with over a dozen previous passwords extending over a 6-year period. But I also don't expect that I am alone in this – anyone keeping a login in 1Password for a system that requires periodic password changes and doesn't allow re-use is likely in the same boat.

    Understood. There are a few of us old timers running around with history going back that far or further. :wink:

    I was about to contact support. I thought you guys had removed this feature or made it 'subscription only' (I used standalone). Glad to see it's still there. [Should be sorted with newest first, as mentioned.]

    I didn't even realize there was a drop down next to the password field when hovering over it. Maybe you could have left a link for password history where it used to be with instructions as an interim step. It seems more hidden now.

    I'm sorry this caught you off guard. However, it's nice to hear you found your answer. Thanks for sharing.
