THat was a PIA, so I thought, 'well, what are the changes that a password change will be unsuccessful?'. Apparently, the chances are high. WIthin 10 minutes, I had two password changes not go as expected.
This behavior was mentioned in the past (for at least a year, if not longer), it's a topic that comes up every once in a while, and 1Password is aware of users having trouble with the current behavior. However, it's not sure if it's intended behavior due to reasons unexplained (and the issue you're running into has to be endured) or if it's a thing 1Password is actually going to change (and it just takes its time).
For my part, I consider the current behavior one of the very few but very annoying flaws in 1Password that's probably not going away, and that other password managers with browser integration don't have. It would probably be less annoying if there was a technical reason mentioned, but I don't remember a reason was posted beyond "it's the design".
For the time being, you can use the password history to copy a replaced password and paste it back as current password if the update on the website fails. The requirement to manually do this on failed updates is what I mean with "annoying". It's also a security flaw, because it involves the clipboard. However, you don't need to initiate the "lost password" recovery of the website - look into the password history of your login item for all the previous passwords.
