If you hover over the password field, at the right-hand side you'll see a downward arrow - which displays a menu with options to 'Reveal', 'Show in large type' or 'View password history'. Selecting 'View password history' then gives you what you are looking for :-)

Does 1Password not save the history when you use the "Update saved login" option? I went to update a password for a webpage, entered the old password, had 1Password generate a new one, (1Password prompted me to save the update, which I did). However, the webpage I was working with gave me an error, and failed to update the password. It prompted me to input my old password again, however, when I go to the login item in 1Password, it only shows the new passwords, and hitting view history only shows it, not the previous one.

Is that expected behaviour??

Hi @SFO:

Just to confirm, did you try using the most recent password in password history? 1Password in your browser definitely saves password history if you update an item. The password history time is the time your password was changed from Old Password to New Password, and not the time Old Password was originally generated.

Here's an example:

I just changed my password on this website. The password I've marked with 1 replaced the one I marked with 2, at the time shown for 2. My current password replaced the password marked with 1 at the time shown on the 1 row.

Let me know if that helps, or if you're still having trouble.
