    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.
