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....
I recently updated to 1Password for Mac 8, and also have a "duplicates" issue. But they're not really duplicates.
welcome to the club!
It is pointless to post in the community forum, you will only get "there, there" responses from 1P community support staff.
You will get further if you create support ticket at https://support.1password.com/contact/ > "Don't see my problem listed" > "None of these apply" > "Email"
The explanation I got from email support is that passwords are stored using one-way encryption, so 1Password only see encryption hash "fingerprint" for each entry and that fingerprint will be different every time regardless if you are looking at two identical entries.
Support person mentioned that there may or may not be methods to work around that and detect duplicates. From conversation I got the impression that this barrier is too high for 1Password engineers to resolve this challenging issue. And suffering of just few hundred of users is not enough to justify the to cost of researching this functionality.
