How to convert password item to login?

This used to be easily possible in 1Password 7 but not in 8. How is it done or is it impossible now? Thanks

    Hi @wealthychef, 👋🏻

    In 1Password 8, you can convert a password item to a login item by adding a username to it. A note though that this won't work the other way; removing that username will not revert the item to the password category, it will remain a login item.

    Alternatively, you can always manually recreate items and copy the data to a new item. I recommend opening items in a new window in this case so you can see things side by side:

    Let me know how this goes or if you have any questions. 🙂
