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....

I wish I had more encouraging news to share, but at this time this is not something that is on our roadmap. I'll continue to advocate for it, but as it stands I don't think a duplicate cleanup tool is something we'll see in 1Password in the foreseeable future.
What I do think we'll make efforts toward is preventing as many duplicates from being created in the first place. These efforts will likely focus around the import process and the in-browser experience.
As for what is currently available to help clean up duplicates:
- Watchtower's Reused Passwords checker
- Sort options: sort by title to spot similarly named items (e.g. multiple "Google" items)
- Creation and modification timestamps on item details
We'll continue to gather feedback on the situation. With that feedback if you can please include:
- Any guesses as to how you ended up with duplicate items e.g. from import, migration, or saving multiple times from the browser extension
- Any brainstorming you might have about how 1Password can help you find duplicates, beyond what I've mentioned above
- What 1Password can do / help you do once a duplicate is identified
- For your items that are "duplicates"... are they exact duplicates, or just similar items? In what ways are they different?
Having a better understanding of the answers to those questions may help with getting forward momentum here.
