I accidentally unarchived over 1,000 old items. 1Password briefly showed a "Undo" / "View" link, but it disappeared before I could click on it. Is there a way to see what was recently unarchived, so that I can re-archive it?

1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.7 (81007041)
Extension Version: 2.11.0
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.4
Browser: Safari 16.5

    Hello @jmartindf! 👋

    If you restored the items using 1Password 8 then unfortunately I'm not aware of an easy way to identify and undo that action. I personally think that such a function would be useful and I've filed an internal issue with the team so that they can look into this for the future.

    However, adding this feature in the future won't help your situation since it doesn't appear that there's any identifying metadata that 1Password 8 currently writes to an item when you restore it from the Archive. The best option that I can provide is a manual search through your items to re-archive the ones that you don't need again. You might be able to narrow down the items by:

    • Sorting by "Date Created" and "Date Modified" to find old items that would have been archived and not used for a long time.
    • Using Watchtower's "Reused Passwords" section to find items where you might have replaced an old archived item with a new active item: Use Watchtower to find passwords you need to change

    I'm sorry that I don't have a better answer for you. Hopefully this is something that our development and product teams will be able to improve in the future. Let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with.

    -Dave
