PSA / Feature request / Security risk - duplicated records contain password history

wagnerone

Duplicating an item means creating a perfect cloned copy that includes all of the original item's information including password history. For the scenario that you described, I would echo Mousit's suggestion that you create a "template item" that doesn't contain any password history and duplicate that item before adding the user-specific information to the duplicate.

Personally I would be confused if duplicating an item didn't mean creating an exact duplicate and I imagine that would be the case with many other users as well. In fact, older versions of 1Password for Mac didn't keep an item's password history when an item was "duplicated" and we received a lot of feedback from users who were confused why duplicate didn't mean creating an exact duplicate. This feedback partially led to 1Password 8's current design.

That being said, I can see how an option to either copy an item without password history or an option to clear an item's password history would be useful. While I can't promise anything, I've passed along your feedback to the product team. 🙂
