Hello Siegmar! 👋

Thank you for reaching out! Secure Notes, and the notes field in items, in the 1Password app supports markdown which is a method of formatting your notes with additional styles. You can read more about markdown here:

Does some of the text that you entered correspond to this markdown formatting? I recommend that you save your passwords in a passwords field, not the notes field. However you can also turn off markdown so that your notes render in plain text by following these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Windows.
  2. Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and click Settings.
  3. Click General.
  4. Turn off "Format secure notes using Markdown".

I hope that helps. 🙂
