Is there a way to find all entries that have OTP/2FA configured/stored in 1password?

I'd like to be able to find all the entries in 1P that have OTP or 2FA configured. Is there a way to do this using "Advanced Search" or other means?

Hello @odysseus! 👋

At the moment, there isn't a way to search for items that have 2FA enabled in 1Password 8. We do have an open feature request to add this sort of feature and I've added your feedback there.

What I personally do is manually tag all of my items that are using 2FA with a "2FA" tag, this then allows me to quickly find those items in the future. More information about tags can be found here: Organize with favorites and tags

Thank you for the idea and let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Yes, I've seen that this has been requested since … 2019 (sigh). I started tagging my items but I guess I stopped at some point.

Frustrating because this used to be possible but the switch to 1Password 8 removed this feature.

I just searched for "one-time password" in the search field at the top of the desktop client, "one-time password" being the default label for the TOTP codes stored with an item, and it found all items in my account with a TOTP configured. Perhaps the same will work for you?

So oddly enough some of mine are just the code and missing the label. That’s what made me try to figure out how to search them so I could clean them up.

Thanks for flagging this, @hansenc. I would have expected that, as @MerryBit mentioned, the search "one-time password" would catch every item that includes such a field.

Do you notice any common factors among items that are missing the label? Date created, perhaps? We'll be happy to look into this further, and this might help narrow the field of search (so to speak).

@1P_PeterG I don't think it happens anymore. My guess is it was a bug in the iOS or macOS Betas since I've been on them for what it seems like forever. I just tested and creating new and editing old logins doesn't seem to duplicate the blank label issue anymore.

and to answer your other question, I've already cleaned them up and not too sure what records it was at this point.

Ah, very interesting - thank you @hansenc! If the issue re-emerges at any point, we'll be ready to dig deeper. Thanks for letting us know the state of things (and happy 2023 to you!).

Problem is that it depends on language setting and time/1pw-version(?) when it was created. Up to now I found "one-time password", "einmalpasswort", "Einmalpasswort" and "Einmal-Passwort" (latter 3 are german). Not sure if I missed anything. And this "not sure" is the problem....
