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.
In any case, I have a load of duplicates in 1Password 8 and it would be very helpful if there were an efficient tool or feature to help me merge/dedupe these entries (and ideally test them to make sure that I'm preserving the correct credentials).
Any thoughts/ideas for how to handle this situation?
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.5.0 80500017, on BETA channel
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: macOS 12.0.1 (21A559)

It's been 6 years we've been asking for a dedupe tool.

I'm a new user and the app/service looks great so far, but this is an important functionality that I'm surprised isn't available.
In my case, I've imported passwords from various sources (LastPass, KeePass, a couple of browsers, excel, notes, etc) and have tons of duplicate entries.
Any help the app can provide with organizing all this mess would be great.
Thank you!

You can add my vote for a "search duplicate" also.
although I'm not stuck with hundreds of duplicates, I've quite a few.It would be nice to have a feature which allows to search for duplicates per field for example:
- search across (all) vault(s), field type : URL fields (because an item can have 1 or more URL field) for duplicate URLs
(or field name "website")
same for the fields "username" and "password" (use field name or type)This way, I could search for example for all items which have duplicate URLs
or search all items which have both URL and password duplicateIf the "AND" / "OR" operator is too complex, a simple search for duplicates in 1 field would be nice already

Ok, so HERE'S a big question - let's say I abandon this entirely. How do I get back to 1password6 and just stay with what I have?
V6 seems to be gone. - Former Member
Ok, I'm an I/T guy, so I plowed in. Found eliminate duplicates in 7, but you can only run this against a single vault, not across vaults.
I'm still a bit shy on importing from computer 2, as I don't know if it will do an enmass import like it did with computer 1. I may have to do that one vault by vault. I also note that V6 was blown away during the 7 merge, so wouldn't even know how to get to the 6 backup data on that one. I did make a backup on computer 2, and copied it off to the desktop, but it is a .zip file vs. a .1pif or .csv, so have no clue if that would work.
So, yes, even if you are in the process - there are no help guides on making this conversion work properly without duplicates occurring and then, of course, you can't eliminate them in V8.
Still, any suggestions welcome.

Wow. I'm in the process of moving to 8 from 6, and am still on 7. I was out of sync via dropbox, so was going to import from both my home and work computer - thinking I'd get what was out of sync and eliminate duplicates.
Wow again - totally scared now. As I am still on 7 (on one computer) and not moved from 6 on the other computer - any suggestions? And where is the duplicate (identical) remover on 7 on the mac? Can't find it.

I've got the same problem as mentioned before regarding the migration from 7 to 8. This is very, very annoying and almost unusable with thousands of duplicates.

I vote to bring v7 back.. V8 is a disaster.

1password has been destroyed with this new update lots and lots of duplicates and no way of deleting them. I may have to transfer to another password manager to get out of this muddle.
