1Password TeamHey folks, thanks for reaching out.
Andrew42, do you happen to have the latest version of 1Password in your browser installed (web extension)? With the extension installed, you should be automatically prompted to update an existing record or save a new item. If you have the extension installed, I recommend checking out these two guides:
- Save and fill passwords in your browser
- Use the password generator to change and strengthen your passwords
Let me know if that helps!
Reeze, not having a URL attached to items would certainly explain why you aren't always prompted to update existing logins. The URL is required to associate a specific login to a website which prompts you to update the entry if you make any changes on the site. So when you fill the credentials, 1Password will see it as a new item and prompt you to save it as such.
Although I understand this may not be an ideal solution, I would recommend adding a URL to each of your saved logins in 1Password.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
