Sites forgetting password
Not a question, more of a pet peeve - After migrating from LastPass, I changed the password on my critical, mostly financial sites, banks, etc. but there are several e-commerce sites in my vault that...
@shhh I don't feel this is something 1Password can do about. How can 1Password learn that website deleted your account or invalidated your password? There is no connection. You need to initiate the account recovery process from within that website, not from within 1Password. And since there are a million different websites all with different software, 1Password cannot know when, where and how to automatically click some "forgot password" button unless the 1Password devs painstakingly visit every website and programmed that button location manually. Probably not feasible. Username and password input fields are usually tagged according to semi-standards, so these can be detected automatically, but not password recovery links.
It just happened I encountered such an account myself (was deleted by a website, probably due to inactivity), and what I did was just deleting the 1Password entry and let the browser plugin create a new entry while creating a new account on that website. There was no action in that workflow 1Password could have done for me automatically.
