Hi silothelegend​, thanks for writing in! 

There could be a few different ways to tackle updating your items to autofill on the websites you're using. The option I would pursue is adding a website field to my login items with the matching address with this flow:

  1. Visit a website and sign in with my existing credentials.
  2. After signing in, copy the URL.
  3. Open the matching item and select Edit.
  4. Add a website field to the item, then paste in the URL and save. 

 

If you have a lot of items this will take some time to get through all of them, but it will get your most used items ready to autofill quickly. Another option would be to click the "Save in 1Password" prompt from 1Password in the browser to create new items after using your existing credentials, then clear out the duplicates later. 

Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks again!
