    @JohnnyWoong: If you mean item history in a 1Password.com account, there is no way to delete everything at once. items deleted from Trash will expire and be cleared completely after one year; otherwise you could delete them individually, or start over with a new account if it is important to you to not have any of that.

    @JohnnyWoong: Thanks for confirming. That's what I was referring to as well. There is no way to destroy your entire item history archive at once. It's certainly something we can consider adding in the future, but I think it's come up maybe only two times before -- and that's less than once per year the 1Password.com has existed. Can you tell me why you want to do that? Those items are only visible if you dig into the Trash and then also select Archive.

    Ah, sorry if that came as a bit of a surprise. I think you'll find it can be really useful though if you delete the wrong thing, or make a change you regret. I know I've done that, and having this extra safety net can be a real relief. :)

    I'm in that same situation. I have thousands of items in history that I don't want to be there. I don't want those items, that I deleted, and explicitly also deleted from Trash, to be archived.

  • @pedrogarcia

    Thanks for the feedback. You can purge them from the archive, but at present would have to do so item-by-item.

    I also want all these items deleted at once. I deleted them and emptied the trash because I don't want you to have them. At all. I never wanted your cloud service to have them to begin with.

    @1passwordUserGuy:

    Thank you for your feedback! If you created your 1Password account by mistake, you can delete it.

    brenty,

    "There is no way to destroy your entire item history archive at once.

    I have a Families subscription. I use the home user at home and use the guest user at work. It is often necessary to briefly transfer an account to a guest user, use it, then transfer it back or delete it. There can be up to 50 such transfers per month. Using the working user, after transferring the login or deleting the login, he remains in the "archived". The computer is in the office and, in my absence, the system administrator has physical access to it. Used by Google Chrome + 1Password X (both accounts have 2FA). When leaving the workplace, I log out of my Google account (to block access and stop synchronization), I block 1Password X. If the company uses a keylogger, when using a password from Google, the system administrator will not be able to log in due to 2FA. When using the master password 1Password X, which I use when unlocking, the administrator will gain access to the guest user. He can also go to the basket and "archived". Removing 50 logins every month manually for 1 element is long and not convenient. To delete from the "archived" every time something appears there is not convenient. Adding the “delete all” button to “archived” would be convenient. Analogy: in the Gmail basket there is a "empty basket" button, and the basket is automatically emptied once a month - the user has the choice to either empty it "here and now" or do nothing and the basket will be empty itself.

  • Thanks @rudenkopro. One person using multiple accounts within a membership isn't really a case that we designed for when building 1Password.com. We'll have to do some more brainstorming on that. I certainly understand how that can be helpful in some situations, and I've even pointed that possibility out to folks before. But because it wasn't really intended to be used that way there are bound to be some oddities when trying to force a use case that wasn't planned.
