Is it possible to remove duplicate entries in two vaults?

DonInSF

I just upgraded to families, from 1 shared account between my wife and I, synced via Dropbox. After I completed the upgrade on my devices, I separated a third of the passwords into a shared folder. I then upgraded my wife's device and it copied everything from the original primary vault on DropBox into her primary vault under the family. So, now there are a bunch of duplicates between the multiple family accounts. Any ideas on how to fix this?

All of our versions have been upgraded to the newest.

Thanks,
Don

Hi @DonInSF! Welcome to the forum!

After migrating to 1Password.com, our recommendation is usually to remove the old Primary vault from the app, so you don't have duplicate items. If you remove the Primary vault from your 1Password apps, do the duplicates disappear?

Hi! Sorry, i'm not sure why I never saw this response. So, the duplicate entries I was referring to are in the same vault.

It's been several months now and doesn't seem to be a major issue so far. But would be nice if there was an option to remove duplicates in shared vaults. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Thanks.

@DonInSF:

No worries at all, and thank you for the confirmation! If the duplicates are in the same vault, you can try the duplicate removal tool in 1Password for Mac, which you can find under the Help menu > Tools > Clean Up Duplicate Items while you are in the vault with the duplicates :+1:

Nice! I'll try it and let you know how it goes.
