1Password gives you access to previous passwords you had for that reason.

Unfortunately not for other fields like email, notes etc…

IMHO the perfect password app could just keep all previous versions of any field until the user deletes the history.

1Password does do full previous versions. It might be a newer feature, I’m only seeing passwords, not full versions, prior to 2018.

All that data is lost when you migrate accounts though. I went from an old to a new 1P account and did the official way to copy (NOT exporting it to a text file and re-importing that way, actually copying it from the interface) and no version history persisted :/

I am using the latest version of their iOS app and only see my current version except for passwords.

Huh, yeah, I’m not seeing it there either. The macOS app is what I checked previously. iOS-only users might be able to see it at 1password.com. Weird inconsistency.

I'm (slowly) working on a version controlled local-first password manager for exactly this reason.

Keepassxc is local first and has password history. Check it out before building.

It didn't have a good sync story when I checked last.

Still does not. My approach is to keep the file in OneDrive. On windows / mac it's just a file, on android it's via custom onedrive protocol handler but also seamless.
