    I use 1password and was considering switching to bitwarden or derivative. Perhaps to selfhost. What’s beneficial about categorising logins? I wish 1password had a duplicate finder.

      Having categories masks everything tidier and easier to find. If I’m looking for a Software licence key I saved, I search that category or Kik in there instead of looking through the entire database.

      I don’t like the Bitwarden model of dumping it all together and then having to search everything.

      I’m old fashioned.

      I don’t think 1Password can be self hosted.

      Do you mean find duplicate passwords or duplicate items? Doing a search will bring up all items so you will see duplicate entries and can delete them.

      If I’m not mistaken there is the Watchtower functionality which shows you reused passwords - websites where you’ve used the same password each time (duplicates) and then you can use 1Password to generate new ones.

        I just search everything, I’d like categories I guess but I never go into the list, just search everything. Duplicate items. When I moved from one version of 1P to the pay monthly it duplicated all of my entries so I had to manually remove them. Or a merge function or something.

            Yeah, the only recco is to downgrade to an older 1P, then run the duplicate finder in that, which didn’t work, then upgrade again. After this thread I rechecked and it notes duplicates in the entry but there isn’t a ‘scan and merge all’ thing so I did it manually. I must have missed a bunch when I did it manually last time.
