Passwords category

So I'm not sure if this is an issue or desired behavior. I started with 1password 3 and have since gone to version 4 through the mac app store.

I've got a lot of entries in the Passwords categories, which appear to all be related to the password history from sites. Most of what I use resides in the logins categories, so I only discovered this when I was looking at the security audit feature due to all the talk about the heart bleed vulnerability. Figured now was a good time to go change passwords.

Are these entries supposed to be in here or are they left over or something due to all the upgrades I've been through? Is the data in password history related to the entries in the passwords category? I've recently changed some logins and the newest entries don't show up in there.

Am I ok to delete these without adversely affecting the entries in my Logins section? Or is there some other cleanup process that I need to do?

    The Passwords category stores passwords you have generated which are not linked to saved login items. You can delete redundant passwords from the Passwords category by going, in 1P4, to Help > Tools > Remove Redundant Generated Passwords.
