3 years agoHi @raykski,
Apologies for the delay here, thanks for sharing your update! To confirm, we're discussing the item automatically created in your Private vault that contains your 1Password account credentials? If so, this should contain 3 key pieces of information: your email address, account password, and Secret Key. Changing any one won't change the others, so it's possible you changed your account password while your Secret Key remained the same. Once you've logged in on a device, you typically won't need to enter your Secret Key again, so while it often seems detached from the sign in process, it's still a vital part of your 1Password account security.
In case you'd like more information about Secret Keys:
* About your Secret Key
* Find your Secret Key or Setup Code
Let me know if I've misunderstood the question though and I'll be happy to help. 🙂
