Exact match and close match... is it gone from 1Password 8?

Hey so yep it no longer shows 'Close Matches', only exact, which means a large number of login pages we go to no longer show us credentials. We have to search 1Password for it, and then it offers to save a new entry, which is a duplicate causing split brain when it updates in one save/entry and not the other.

Yes you can have multiple websites per entry, but we have thousands of customers, so some services we may sign in to hundreds of subdomains (eg Umbrella, Meraki, Duo, Teltonika, etc). On top of that, some of them like Teltonika are dynamic; the URL generated chanegs each time, so that will never work if an exact match is required.

Even if we were to add a few hundred entries per saved login (if it supports that many), that is still 800+ saved passwords in 1P7 that we would have to go through and update. This would take a very long time.

Even then there would still be endless problems as say we deploy a new Duo instance for an existing customer, or Meraki deploys a new server/shard, we may be prompted to login to https://n259.meraki.com/ for an existing customer, which means we'll have to go and find the login manually, and then it'll just ask to save a new password not realising it's the same as the others under n69.meraki.com etc.

Long story short hundreds of man hours to get closer to making something useable, but will ongoing still not be completely useable, is not a good business decision! Especially when the older version does not have these significant flaws.
