Auto saved web details?
So when I first began using 1Password I enabled the ability to see this info. I’d always purge it as it seemed like extra clutter and didn’t realize what it was used for.
Now I do lol. Curious...
no no, it wasnt the "essential" type items that i'm referring to. i know how to edit username/pass/url etc.
i had checked the setting under settings > advanced (on the windows client) that was called "show auto-saved web details" which appeared to display almost anything you entered at the time of generating the login.
sometimes it would show my timezone, sometimes my birthdate, all depending on what i was filling out when i had generated the login. after some research it appears these things are hidden because theyre used by 1Password to more accurately be able to fill out forms on the websites in question.
i was trying to keep things clean and not knowing what they were for, anytime they popped up along with my username/pass as i was saving a login, I would delete them before committing to the save.
if i came across an old login that had them i'd edit and remove them as well.
i realize now this was probably a mistake and i never should have exposed them and it never would have bothered me or piqued my interest enough to start purging them lol.
