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)

Hello,
I understood it is not coming into new features...
I still needed to add another message to this thread, with my problem, similar to others when upgrading / mergin... with tons of duplicates.
I wish there was better solution, to avoid going one by one... - DeppHeardFrequent Contributor
1Password support staff are not doing their job. Yes, in modern cynical world they are not expected to be acting in the interest of customer. But what about decency and morality? When there’s such outcry on a daily basis, that negates any good being provided and you’re not being able to fulfil the “satisfaction” part of customer support. You should quit this job or at least have a serious conversation with your employer. Unless you are a support person who is also cynical and indifferent towards customer then carry on.

As I indicated in May 2022, the cleanup of my many duplicates took hours. Now I see, from @RowanFrancis, that helping customers solve this problem isn't a priority for 1Password. Which means, I assume, that they won't be doing anything about it at all. Meanwhile I'm now getting notifications urging me to update my 1Password app for Android to version 8. Not a chance in hell. I'll limp along with what I have now for as long as possible.,

Hi @RowanFrancis,
Thanks for your consideration, I'm sorry to hear your initial import didn't go as smoothly as we would hope. You can find our latest information about this feature request in this post: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/662923/#Comment_662923 but essentially we're focusing our efforts on understanding and preventing duplicates in the first place.
If you're open to sharing more about your import workflow, I'm happy to help troubleshoot.

andrew_l_1P i have just opened a 1p account as i am considering moving from lastp... (unmentionable) i have a family account and i moved everything across and i have 3 duplicates for every entry , so over 4000 entires in my single vault , I have yet to load the data for the rest of the families accounts in light of this.
we are now in 2023 and i see the lack of a duplicate tool has been hanging around here for over 8 months now like a bad smell, is there any light at the end of these requests for a duplicate tool or should i just move on ? - ctphotoOccasional Contributor
Perhaps for the new year 1Password will actually fix this. We can dream......

In my case, I have noticed that the duplication is actually in the exported LastPass passwords file. I went through that file line by line to remove the duplications before uploading to 1Password.

Hi @et01267,
Thanks for your feedback and welcome to 1Password!
I don't have any updates regarding a duplicate tool at the moment, but if you're seeing duplicate items from a repeat import on an otherwise empty account and you still have the source file, I recommend creating a new vault and importing your data again.
If your duplicates are in a user-made vault you can replace that vault with the new one. If your duplicates are in your Private vault you can delete its contents and then move the entirety of the new vault into your Private vault.
I recognize this is only viable for new accounts where re-importing is an option though so I'll add your feedback and use case to our internal discussion.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

OK, so 4 months later. Where's the de-duplication feature? Just moving from LastPass because they are clowns, and now find that my import generated a bunch of duplicates (over 800 pairs). How do I clean this up?
Not 4 months, more like 13 months at least https://1password.community/discussion/125331/tool-for-detecting-and-removing-duplicates/p1
