Feature Request – Duplicate item overview, merging duplicates, and search when updating a password
Hi 1Password team,
I’d like to submit three related feature requests that would make it much easier to keep vaults clean and up to date, especially for users with a large number of items.
1. Overview of duplicate logins (same username and password)
I’d like a dedicated view that lists items that appear to be duplicates, meaning they share the same username and password (and ideally the same website). Today it’s difficult to get a clear picture of how many duplicate items exist and where they are. The view should:
- Group duplicates together so you can see all copies of the same login at once
- Work across vaults, with the option to filter by vault
- Show basic details for each copy (vault, last modified date, website) so you can tell them apart
2. Merge duplicate logins into one item
Building on the overview, I’d like to be able to merge duplicates into a single item. When the items contain different information, the merge should let you choose what to keep:
- If the passwords differ, let me choose which one becomes the primary password (the others could be kept in the item’s password history)
- Combine other data where possible, such as website URLs, notes, tags, custom fields and one-time password settings, without losing anything
- Show a preview of the merged result before confirming
3. Search field when updating an existing password
When 1Password asks whether to update an existing item after a password change, I have to find the correct item in a list. With many items this is slow and frustrating, especially when the right item isn’t suggested at the top. A search field directly in that dialog, so I can type to find the correct item, would make this much faster and reduce the risk of updating the wrong item or creating a new duplicate.
Why this matters:
Duplicate items build up over time and make it harder to know which entry is current. That leads to outdated passwords, failed logins and more duplicates being created. Together these three features would make it much easier to clean up a vault and keep it clean.
Thank you!
