    I have noticed that Watchtower does not find all duplicate passwords either.

    Hi @JamesHenderson!

    Can you please elaborate a little bit?

    `Sure.

    Watchtower does not find any of the duplicates where a login-type and a password-tyoe are identical. I believe it t does find them where 2 login-types are identical. I normally have duplicates here after generating a password for a new login.

    @JamesHenderson:

    I have just tried creating a new Login item with a password, and a separate Password item with the same password, and Watchtower flagged this for me. Are you able to recreate this on demand, even with new items?

    If you can, please share the step by step instructions on what you did, and we will be happy to test the same process and see if we can reproduce this too.

    I have not tried it, but trust me, I had to delete some duplicates today that were not found by watchtower.

    I only noticed because the 1P extension showed the duplicates when I tried to login to a couple of websites.

    I see the same issue. Two items, different vaults and different domains/URLs, but same password and not being flagged by Watchtower.
