When I update a Password it doesn't change in all Tags and I get multiple entries?
I may have 2 tags and when I make a PW change it only shows up once also it does not change if PW is also shared. So I often get the PW is wrong.

4 years agoHi emerson7, I'm sorry to hear about this.
One reason for conflicting password suggestions might be that your browsers are trying to suggest passwords. We typically recommend disabling those built-in password managers, so that 1Password can offer suggestions and fill passwords for you unimpeded. That way, you know that if something pops up on your screen suggesting a password for a new account you're creating, you can be confident it came from 1Password.
You can find details on how to turn off browser password managers for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge at our guide here.
Of course, if you do want to try disabling 1Password for a bit, that's of course your right (and you can do that without deleting your data).
Importantly, I should mention that the browser extension (known as 1Password for your browser) is the thing that suggests and fills passwords. What I'll describe next is how to disable that in Chrome, without uninstalling the app entirely. This will stop password suggestions from 1Password but won't delete any existing items you have stored in the app. If you'd like to try this, here's what to do:
- Open Chrome as you normally would
- In the URL bar (where you usually type in website addresses), type this and press Enter:
chrome://extensions/ - Under 1Password - Password Manager, flip the slider to the "off" setting.
We of course hope that you do choose to stick with 1Password, and are happy to make sure the app is working for you and that you feel at home with the product . I hope to hear back from you!
