Improvement: Extra Popup on replace existing Login

@lutz: Thanks for the feedback! Currently, 1Password will offer you a dropdown menu to choose whether you want to replace, update, or create a new login:

Just be sure that you don't replace one you want to keep! If you're seeing something else, a screenshot may be helpful, and also let us know which OS, 1Password, extension, and browser versions you're using so we can test it. I hope this helps! :)

Hi @lutz,

Just to let you know, should you do this you do have a couple of different routes to retrieving the overwritten information. Login items are special for a number of reasons and one of the ways they are is they have a password history. So if you update a Login with a new password that you didn't intend to store in that exact place then open up the main 1Password window and select the item in question. You should see a show previously used passwords button underneath the show web form details one. You can then copy it and edit the Login item to restore functionality.

If something more drastic has happened then we can also guide you through how to use your backups to retrieve just a single item.

Just so there is no misunderstanding, is part of the issue that it visually looks too much like the 1Password Save Login window so you are missing that it is updating rather than creating a new one?

I'm glad the information proved helpful @lutz :smile:

Where do you we stand in regards to your original post now?

I shall pass your thoughts on @lutz
