Asterisks not rendering in "notes" field of item
In my notes field for an item I have a long string of numbers and asterisks. When I save the item the asterisks disappear. For example, I enter 12345 * 678912345 * 6789 in the notes field when editing (but no spaces before and after the asterisks). When I save, the asterisks disappear. Also, the numbers between the two asterisks are slanted forward. When I go back to edit, the asterisks appear again. Save again, they disappear. It's like it's an HTML rendering issue. As a workaround I put spaces before and after the asterisks and they appear OK. It's no big deal but it seems like a bug that might be affecting something else I don't know of.
Oddly, when previewing this message without spaces before and after the asterisks, the asterisks disappear and characters between the two asterisks are slanted as they are in the 1-password app. I added spaces to you could see the asterisks.
(For those curious, the number and asterisk string is a conversion of a text password to phone keypad numbers for phone password entry that an investment company asks for when I call in, with asterisk substitution for special characters.)

This is due to asterisks being part of the Markdown syntax. See:

Hey @Steve102,
As @MrC has mentioned it is because your notes are being formatted with Markdown.
You can find out more here: Format your secure notes with Markdown
If you would prefer to turn off Markdown formatting, here's how:
- Open your 1Password app, then choose 1Password > Settings.
- Turn off “Format secure notes using Markdown”.
I hope this helps, let us know if you have any questions.
