4 years agoTool for detecting and removing duplicates? [Available in 8.10.18]
I have several logins that somehow have been duplicated in 1Password 8. This may have happened in different times when I've attempted to migrate my 1Password 7 data to my 1Password.com account....

4 years agoHey folks,
I don't think it is a refusal to address the problem, though I understand how having not come up with a better solution can appear to be and I suppose in some ways is effectively a refusal. The issue isn't so much that we wouldn't like to build a robust duplicate detection and clean up system, it is that we recognize doing so would be a heavy lift to do right, and other tasks & features have taken priority. We did actually build a duplicate cleanup tool into 1Password 7 for Mac, but it was incredibly conservative in what it considered to be a duplicate and as such wasn't super helpful in many cases.
I wish I could promise that a great solution is coming, but I'm not in a position to do that. What I can say is that I'll continue to advocate for one, and I'll also take this opportunity to make sure our product team is aware of the level of demand for such a feature.
