Tool 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....

1Password Team@ronread, I'm sorry to learn you encountered that duplicate issue. If there's anything further we can do to help with your specific case, let me know and I'll be happy to do what I can.
Meanwhile, we do have a request for a Duplicate Detective 🕵️♂️ feature (I'm lobbying hard for that terminology, as a fan of alliteration), and are collecting customer votes for it to get a sense of the demand. I can really see why it'd be useful in your case and am happy to add a vote on your behalf.
To your question:
So back to the original point: Is the loss of finding dups due to the switch to Electron?
No, to my knowledge Electron didn't have anything to do with this. One of the big challenges of creating 1Password 8 is that it's an entirely new app - a true generational shift - and not an iteration built upon 1Password 7. So that meant "coding from the ground up", as it were.
There are a lot of great things about that (the memory security that Rust offers, much faster ability to roll out bug fixes consistently cross-platform, Universal Autofill, etc). But we do have some features that were in some versions of 1Password 7 (which wasn't nearly as consistent from OS to OS - Windows never had a duplicate removal feature) that aren't in the current release. This is certainly one I'd like you to be able to use, and I'll advocate for it on your behalf.
