I have searched the web and here but did not find the answer.

Is it possible to delete some or the entire password history. The reason I asked this because I have not yet changed all my password to new super fantastic secure password.

I have move some with new password over to shared (family access) and family can now see my old password and would be able to figure out the system I had before using 1password.

So deleting some history would be helpfull.

I don't think there is a built-in tool.
If it is only for a few entries, you can create a new entry for each of them and copy the elements of the old one there and then erase those which contain the history of the passwords.
I don't see any other solution.

Hello @marktold,

Thanks for reaching out and your interest in the ability to delete the password history of items. @Ekalb is correct, we do not have a tool to remove the password history of items. As suggested, the best workaround is to copy the current elements to a newly created item and delete (or archive) the item with the history, if no longer needed.

We're currently tracking a feature request to add the ability to delete password history on an individual item basis. While I can't make any promises about future implementation, I've included a +1 for you for the team's consideration when reviewing this idea. 👍

I would like this ability too -- at least for admins.

+1 for me too please.
Ideally, when you duplicate the item, the created and modified date/time should be reset as well. It is easier to duplicate items vs copy/paste line by line. As an alternate, being able to edit two items via the desktop app would make this easier to copy/paste between the two.

Hello @3rdstng,

I've sent your +1 along to the team with regard the potential to remove password history from items, as well your suggestion of being able to edit two items simultaneously via the desktop app.

Ideally, when you duplicate the item, the created and modified date/time should be reset as well.

Duplicated item creation/modification dates are expected to remain in place as this item is a duplicate of the original item. If you'd like to have fresh creation date, the best course of action would be to instead create a new item.

Thanks for passing along this feedback.

+1 I have exactly the same problem. Shared some account to family, but don't want them to see my old password that was used in a lot of places.
