Password History delete items

Hi clarino, thanks for getting back to me! I can definitely see how the workflow you've suggested would be more convenient and intuitive, and I've passed your feedback along to our Product team in the form of a feature request.

If you have any further questions or feedback, let me know 😄

Thanks 1P_Gem for explaining a new item hasn't yet been saved into a specific vault. However, there is certainly an intended vault and it appears right next to the Save button (on the desktop 1P, anyway). So it makes sense to let a user link to an item in that vault.

If the user creates a link and then changes the vault, 1P should pop up a message pointing out that the link will be invalidated with an offer to 1) go ahead with the vault change and link invalidation or 2) cancel the vault change.

Hi clarino, thanks for taking the time to reach out with the details of this scenario you ran into! I've filed your feedback with our product team, including all of the details you've given here 😄

Is there a way to search through password histories?

At the moment it's not possible to search through password histories, so manually checking the password history for each item individually would be the best bet here. You may find it helpful to use the desktop app and sort the item list by Date modified in order to see which items have had any recent changes.

By the way, as I was recreating the login entry by hand, I noticed that:
New Item > Login > add more
does not let you select "Link to a related item" until you first save and re-edit. Only upon editing an existing login does that show up. Bug, right?

This sounds like it could be the intended behaviour here - the new item menu doesn't include this option as the new item hasn't yet been saved into a specific vault. Items can only be linked with other items that are in the same vault.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions or feedback, let me know!

+1 for me too but here's a different scenario:

My mom visited a bank site where either Chrome refused to offer the password (perhaps it needed an update) or she unthinkingly ignored the offer for 1P and she instead entered her 1P password as the site password. Whichever it was, 1P then saved her 1P password to her bank's account. She called me. I saw her bank account password was now her 1P password and reset it bank was stuck seeing it in the history with no way to remove it short of recreating her account, ugh.

Of course, now I'm wondering if she's inadvertently done this with any of her other accounts. Is there a way to search through password histories?

Hi @SoKal, thanks for adding your +1 here - I've passed this along to our product team 😄

At the moment, our suggested workaround is to create a new item and copy over your credentials, then delete the original item. Based on your description, it sounds as if you may be using 1Password 7, as it's not possible to export a 1PIF file from 1Password 8. It's important to note that 1Password 7 is no longer supported, and will only be receiving critical security updates moving forward. As such, any future changes we make to the password history feature will be found in 1Password 8.

If you'd like to give 1Password 8 a try, you can check the system requirements and download the app from the links below:

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions or concerns, let us know!

+1 for me, too.

Say, I tried a workaround, but it failed. I exported a record, edited the PIF file, deleted the "passwordHistory" item, saved the file, imported the PIF. Alas, 1Password responded with "Imported 0 items." Are PIF "locked" in some way?

On behalf of Gem, you're most welcome! 😀

Thank you 1P_Gem!
You know, this could also be an important feature for family peace :) Image my wife found my ex-girlfriend's name / birthday in my old passwords :P

Hi @kai2! Thanks for letting us know that you're running into the same problem, and would also be interested in a method of removing the password history from items. I've gone ahead and filed your feedback with our Product team as well 😄

+1 I have exactly the same problem. Shared some account to family, but don't want them to see my old password that was used in a lot of places.
