Select several items to change them in one step. Selection works in the merged list of all your accounts, in a single account, and in Watchtower’s lists.

Before you begin

  • Actions that change items follow the Premium rules.

Select items

  1. Long-press an item. On desktop, you can also select it with the right mouse button. A selection bar appears.
  2. Select more items to add them, or select Select all.
  3. Select an action in the selection bar.

To leave the selection, select Clear selection.

Merge duplicates

  1. Select two or more items of the same type.
  2. Select Merge into…. The Merge items screen opens.
  3. Edit the merged item as needed.
  4. Choose what happens to the original items: Keep origin items (the default), Move origin items to archive or Move origin items to trash.
  5. Select Save.

The merged item combines the URLs, custom fields, tags and passkeys of all selected items. Every other field takes its most common value. Attachments aren’t merged: they stay on the original items. Environments can’t be merged.

Watchtower’s Duplicate Items list groups likely duplicates, so you can select and merge them there. See Watchtower.

Actions

The selection bar shows only the actions that fit the selected items.

Copying to another account removes links to other items from the copies. Environment variables that reference other items become unset; their names are kept. Keyguard warns you before copying. Environments in an unsupported format cannot be copied to another account because their references cannot be checked. Copies within the same account keep links and environment references. The original items stay unchanged.
