How does one eliminate multiple duplicate entries from the list? When exporting from one computer to another it creates a lot of duplicates. Please advise. Georges T.

    Hi @chikis2 ,

    If you haven't made any changes since the import, you can go to the Backup Preferences and Restore the backup made right before you did the import. Otherwise, you'll need to manually remove the duplicates.

    Keep in mind, exporting and importing should not be used to sync two installations. As you discovered, importing adds to your existing data. It does not try to determine which is a duplicate.

    If you want keep your 1Password data in sync between two machines and don't wish to use iCloud or Dropbox, I suggest using Folder Sync. Sync to a folder on a USB stick or other removable drive and then connect it to the other computer and set up sync to the same folder there.

    If you have any questions on this, please reply.

    Regards,
    Kevin
