Hello @SteveU75! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry that you're running into issues with 1Password, I'll reply below:

I have not been able to find out how to set that up an 1password. It is cumbersome to navigate to the password then click on the webpage then click on open and login and despite the creating the password in 1password it often does not take me to the login page. This just creates a lot of friction.

You can fill your credentials from 1Password and sign into a website by using 1Password in the browser: Save and fill passwords in your browser

Here's how:

1. Make sure that you've installed 1Password in your browser: Download 1Password in the browser
2. Open the webpage that you're trying to sign into and navigate to their sign in page then click in the username or password field.
3. 1Password will suggest your login credentials, click on the appropriate login in the suggestions menu to have 1Password fill and submit your login.

Do you have any suggestions on how to clean out those duplicates without spending a day manually doing it.

If the duplicate items are exactly the same and in the same vault then you can use 1Password's Watchtower tool to clean them up:

1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac desktop app.
2. Click on Watchtower in the sidebar.
3. Click on Show Items under Items with duplicates.

You can read more about using Watchtower here.

I don't see any way to do a multiple select and delete the ones all at once.

Are you using the desktop app or 1Password.com (in the browser)? You can select and delete more than one item at a time in the desktop app by holding down the command key on your keyboard and clicking on multiple items to select them. Then right-click on the selected items and click Delete to delete them all at once.

In my humble opinion the one way that 1password could stay relevant is by being able to better manage the passwords compared to Apple's password manager as well as making pass keys easy to use especially with two factor authentication.
Is there a white paper that talks about why to use 1password versus using the native Apple passwords app, right now it's my impression that Apple password is faster and easier to use.

Can you tell me a little more about about what specifically you find easier about the Apple Passwords app in regards to usability and saving and signing in with passkeys?
