Where has password history gone?
Today I tried to set a pw on a site and let 1PW create one. This was saved in 1PW. Unfortunately the site had restrictions on the permitted characters and I had to start again. However, for this I needed the former pw, which I could not find anymore in 1PW. Formerly there was a password history for going back. Where has this gone?
1Password Version: 8.9.15
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OS 13.2
Browser:_ Firefox

You're correct that custom password fields don't currently include a password history, only the default password field of a Login item does. You can still restore previous versions of an item (thus restoring the previous password in a custom password field) using 1Password.com using the guide that I linked to in my previous comment.
That being said, I've filed an internal issue so that our development team can look into this to see if a password history can be added to custom password fields in the future. Thank you for flagging this!

Hello @trmmlwrbl! 👋
To see a previous password for an item in the 1Password for Mac app you can do the following:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Click on the item that you wish to view.
- Hover over the password field.
- Click on the down arrow on the right of the password field.
- Click View Password History.
You will only see the View Password History option if there are previous passwords.
If you have a 1Password account then you can also restore previous versions of your items on 1Password.com: View and restore previous versions of items
