Possible to see who created an item in shared vault?

I have a duplicate login that just has a password and no email (no identifying information) in a shared Vault on my family plan. Is there a way to see who created it?

The Paddy bot says that this information should be in the item history, but the item history only shows me the edit time not who created/edited the item.

Thanks for the reply. Try making an arbitrary edit to the item (such as adding a letter to the notes section) and then save the item. Do you then see a person's name when you open "View previous versions"? This would be the person who created or moved/duplicated the item.

Let me know how that goes.

Hello @EnerJi! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! Did you (or someone else) happen to move the item from one vault to another vault in the past? That would remove an item's history.

There are tools to show more information about an item in 1Password Business to help IT teams at larger organizations. Can you let me know how this information would be helpful in 1Password Families? Are you able to reach out to the people who are part of your 1Password Families membership to ask them who created the item?

Thanks for the reply - I was thinking my post had been overlooked.

Other family members don't remember creating nor editing the login item, so there's no way to tell if this password is meaningfully attached to a login and more importantly whose family member the password may belong to.

Can you let me know how this information would be helpful in 1Password Families?

Sure. There's a site with multiple logins (one for each family member) and we store the logins in a shared family vault as we may (rarely, but importantly) need to be able to log in as each other in certain situations.

In this case there's a mysterious extra login with only a password and no login email and no one remembers doing it. I'd like to delete it if there's no use for it at all, but a history / log would help us understand who created it and give me more comfort before I delete it. It would also be helpful to know whose login credentials should be tested to ensure they are still working without asking everyone to test their login credentials individually.

Wow, not intuitive but it worked! Would it be possible to create a feature request to update this functionality so that the creator is listed without going through this step?

Thanks for the suggestion! I've passed along your feature request to the team internally.
