Why is 1Password 8 often, but not always, auto-filling the same wrong credentials for multiple different websites?

Interesting! That seems to have fixed the issue for me, but there is a caveat. One of the places I'm most able to reproduce this issue is on sites using basic auth. Every time I try to use basic auth it prompts me to update the entry, which adds that linked app back in. I can choose "Fill once" instead, which doesn't seem to have this side effect. However, I imagine you'll have a lot of folks running into this, particularly with basic auth.
Separate issue: 1Password seems kind of sluggish when trying to populate the basic auth fields. It takes literally 5 seconds. I have about 500 items in my 1Password (many of which probably need pruning).
Here's a good way to test the issue out: You can use httpbin's basic auth example. The last two in the path are the user/pass. But, if you ever update the login as prompted to do, you'll get that link back. Fill once seems to work, but people will certainly fall into this trap.
