Tool for detecting and removing duplicates? [Available in 8.10.18]

Hi,
I just enrolled and onborded my colleagues in 1P8 and they faced the duplicate issue.
For some who were using Edge and Chrome which the same credentials in each: they've got a lot of duplicates.
Unfortunately, the only solution I can them is is to sort this by hand...
Not a really good start, they would say.
So our voice for a solution to this.

Please add a vote for me. In the migration from 1password 7 to v8 I've ended up with thousands of duplicates. I've been using 1password since February of 2008 and have never run into this kind of frustration.

I spent a half hour manually command-clicking and deleting duplicates and barely made a dent in it. The duplicates crowd my view of passwords whenever I try to use 1password to login to a site.

The duplicates are all exact dupes, with all entries and content and the same modification and creation timestamps. There wouldn't be a need for a tool that does fancy comparisons between records -- just quickly scan through all of them and generate a hash for each, then delete one of each matching pair. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out a way to automate this with 1password-cli.

I agree with you that some are also pulled from older archives unintentionally. What a mess.

Since I don't have access to my Mac computer -- and won't for several months -- I finally resolved this duplicates problem by spending four hours on 1Password 8 on my Windows PC, going through about 1,000 entries and archiving the invalid duplicates. (Which, as I explained earlier, weren't really duplicates, just earlier versions of the correct entry.) A delightful way to pass a Sunday afternoon. :(

Any progress on this issue? Can I finally upgrade back to version 8 from version 7?

Hi folks, thanks for your feedback here. This is certainly an issue I'm happy to advocate for on your behalf.

To spinoza's point: 1Password has grown incredibly fast in the last few years, and we've re-organized and re-thought the way we prioritize and triage issues along the way. What I mean by this is: just because something was requested before and hasn't happened, doesn't mean it's off the table. While I don't have anything specific to share on this feature request at the moment, I can tell you honestly that we in customer service are tallying the votes and that community demand does matter.

So if this is something you feel would be useful for you, and you haven't let us know already, I welcome you to do so. I'll advocate for your use case in any way I can.

Speaking of which, all the votes from this thread which were not previously added have now been tallied (and we already had votes for @"Chris Messina", spinoza, and @cornelln). 👍

We've been raising this problem for many years. 1Password refuses to allow a cleanup duplicates tool (they allowed a very limited one in 1Password 7, then abandoned it upon release of 8.) New staff members pop up here every few years, and say they will suggest it to the development team. I've been using 1Password since the beginning. I acquired 6,000 duplicates when they switched to subscription for 1Pass6, and have been manually deleting one-at-a-time ever since - down to 3,300 now!!

I'm hoping to ditch this crappy company when I can -- they abandoned me years ago. Their goal is to lock you to their ecosystem, while pretending to be good guys :-( Luckily Apple and Google are stepping up their game.

Yep — and it's gotten worse as I update passwords... now I have TWO entries and especially when they sync to my phone, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to tell which is the correct/current credential! 😣

@"Chris Messina" thanks for all your posts and bringing this to light. I'm in the exact same boat as you. I used the standalone version of 1password for many many years. And finally decided... I get enough value out of this that I don't mind paying a small monthly fee for the one software application that I use every single day, all day long.

When we made the move to the new cloud subscription service everything seemed okay. But now as I'm going to use a login identity I'm seeing at least two versions of the exact same credentials.

I recognize this may take some significant development to build a duplicate item cleanup tool, but I think it would really helpful to streamline our online identities.

Duplicates issue is the disaster of 1Password8 upgrade. If user has 1Password on two devices, there will be prompt on both and it will migrate vault twice. That's a huge number of users!

And now it's been months and still no remove duplicates function. Why the team can not take it seriously? What is more important than thousands of users experiencing very annoying issue.
