    If you view the login (either in main 1PW or the mini) there is an option to show previously used passwords. If you actually want the passwords in clear text then press the option key when previous passwords are showing.

    Hi @mdmarks,

    Danco is correct, and you can copy the correct password from "previously used passwords" into the main password field when you edit the item.

    Hopefully you're all set, but if you have more questions or need anything else, just let us know. :)
