Thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry that you misplaced a passkey when editing the same item, at the same time, using both the 1Password desktop app and 1Password in the browser.
1Password currently uses a "last edit wins" system when it comes to sync conflict resolution. While this works for the majority of scenarios there are some edge cases where better handling would be desirable. Your example of editing the same item using two different instances of 1Password at the same time is one such edge case. The team is discussing ways that we can improve conflict resolution going forward and I've added your comments to that conversation.
For the time being I do have some suggestions:
- When editing an item, update that item using only one instance of 1Password at a time.
- If you do accidentally edit an item using two different instances of 1Password, at the same time, and need to recover data then you can do so using item history: View and restore previous versions of items
Hopefully this is something that can be improved in the future.
