Improving the new duplicate detection tool [8.10.18 +onward]
Ok, we appreciate the return of the duplicate detection tool! The inteface is good. It's caught maybe 6 to 8 exact duplicates. But there are still over a thousand items with the same essential data ...

Thank you for the feedback. I've merged your comments together into one thread so that we can keep the conversation about your specific issue in one place.
The new "Items with duplicates" feature is very conservative by design. If two items are even a tiny bit different (modified date, etc), 1Password will not remove them. This is done so that 1Password does not perform bulk actions that may result in data loss.
But there are still over a thousand items with the same essential data (username, PW, creation/mod date, etc.)
If the username, password, and creation/modified metadata are all the same then can you tell me what is different between these "duplicate" items? I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
