    Hello robertoborges​! 👋

    Thank you for the question! 1Password 8 includes a duplicate finder through Watchtower, try these steps:

    1. Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
    2. Click on Watchtower in the sidebar.
    3. Click on Show Items under Items with duplicates.


    The duplicates remover tool will only look for items that are exactly the same and that are located in the same vault. You can read more here: Use Watchtower to find account details you need to change

    I hope that helps.

The “Duplicates Finder” feature does not effectively address the issue of multiple saved passwords for the same website. If there is even a slight variation in the base web address (e.g., a single letter difference), the system fails to recognize these as duplicates. As a result, multiple entries for the same site accumulate—especially when using mobile apps or different login URLs—making it unclear which password is the most current. This often leads to login failures, forcing the use of the “Forgot Password” option, which only creates more confusion if the older, duplicate entries are not manually deleted. This issue is frustrating because the core purpose of a password manager is to save time and simplify logins. Instead, I’m spending more time resetting passwords and cleaning up duplicates.
