Several of the logins, including Agilebits has the term "conflicts" below the website field. What is 1PW telling me and how can I identify and resolve the "conflict"?
Thank you,

    Thanks, I think I have solved my own problem. I just did an edit and deleted the conflict.

    Hi @1NoahTN,

    Conflict fields are when an item has changed on more than one machine/device and if we can't say with 100% certainty then we keep one copy of the field in the normal location and the other in a conflict field. It's much safer to keep everything and allow the user to decide than for us to start guessing and risk your data. So if you ever see a conflict field it might be something quite silly, I would just make sure the Login item still works and as long as the conflict field contains only old data you're perfectly fine to delete.

    I hope that helps explain what they are but if you have any follow up questions do please ask! :smile:

    Hi littlebobbytables,
    Thanks for the explanation. All the conflicts appeared when I was making some changes and deleting some old logins. Some of them did appear to be a little silly. 1PW continues to be one of my favorite apps.

    We always love to hear that people love 1Password @1NoahTN :smile: Basically, as long as you review the conflicts you certainly can't lose anything because of them. I hope we keep impressing :smile:
