Saving old passwords
Does 1Password have a mechanism to save old passwords as they change? Sometimes when changing a password, it is handy to have the old one available in case things go awry and perhaps you didn't really change the PW on the site as you thought you did, or something like that. There are also places that require 90 day or other PW expires and it's helpful to have a history with older passwords and the dates they changed.
If there is not a place within the record to automatically do that, would you consider that as a feature request?
I know I can do this manually be creating a new section and saving them there, but was checking to see if there's an automatic way already in place.
Let me know if you have any comments on whether this is a good practice vis-a-vis proper security.

That feature is already there. On a login item, click on the button that says
show previously used passwords.0 -
Hi @dfz
Thank you very much for taking the time to contact us. Pervel is spot on! You can already see the old passwords by clicking on "Previously used passwords". This option only appears after you've changed a password, so if you don't see it in some items it's because you've never changed the password then :chuffed:

OK, I thought I remembered seeing something like that before, but had forgotten and for some reason, it wasn't showing in the record I was working on. Could be I missed it or hadn't gone through the correct steps. I'll watch to see if it happens again, but I do see it now in a different record that I changed, so seems to be working. Thanks for the quick response.

I'm glad that was helpful for you! Hopefully it's working correctly, but if you think there's a problem with the previously used passwords feature, please let us know so we can look into it. We're here for you if you need anything else! :)
