Feature Request: Find duplicate passwords

derkork

Every now and then a website is hacked and then they usually suggest that you change your password on that site and on all sites which use the same password. By now I'm using 1Password's generator to make a unique password for every site I have an account on, but there are a lot of legacy sites that I just added when I bought 1Password and many of these use the same password. The problem is - i cannot remember which of them, so I have to manually click through all of them and check if they use the same password. It would be helpful to have a feature that could list all entries in your list which have the same password, grouped by password. That way you could easily remedy the situation in one shot. You could even display a warning when adding two sites with the same password (there might be instances where this is a valid use case though).

You can search for a password when you click on "include notes and passwords in search". As a result, all the logins having the same password will appear.

Dekork I guess you got hit by the LinkedIn hack too! I came here to post exactly the same post!



The search is good but what would be cool is to identify all the accounts with the same password - i.e. - these x have this passowrd, these y have this password....



Also the ability to rate accounts by security risk. Some sites - like this forum - I really don't care if my account is hacked. Other sites - where i have saved card details and it's possible to buy stuff I do care - and then other sites that have key work info or are key social networks.

A comprehensive list of all Logins that share passwords with other Logins could certainly be beneficial. Thank you for letting us know you would like to see this in a future update.

I like this request. Like the OP I have a lot of passwords I created before I started 1password's random generator feature (essentially, before importing my data into 1password). I would like 1password to tell me where I have duplicates.



But I would also like 1password to go beyond this and tell me where I have highly similar passwords (e.g. pword and pword1). So I think the idea of a duplicate scanner should be extended to a similarity scanner: 1password should tell me which passwords have a similarity score above some threshold value.

Thanks for the vote, omzaz! I'll pass your feedback along to the developers. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



For now, consider sorting by password strength which will list your weakest passwords at the top of the list. Just make sure you have [b]View > Show Password Strength[/b] enabled and then click the [b]Password[/b] column header. That can be a helpful way to spot passwords that are too weak to have possibly been generated by 1Password.
