fields are identical, it's easy to decide which to archive, as it likely doesn't
much matter.

When a duplicate set details page contains a lot of information, the easiest way
to handle it is to use the "Copy to others" button to copy a particular field
from one item to the same field on all the other items in the set. Working this way,
you can reduce the amount of different information between items until you are
left with a set of information you can more easily base decisions on.

Ultimately, if the difference between two items comes down to just the password,
you're going to have to actually try logging into the website to figure out which
password (if any) is actually the correct one. While I hope to make that a little
easier from within the tool directly (see FR #7), for now, you'll want to jump
into the 1Password desktop app to make further progress on that item.

Similarly, you will likely find some "duplicate sets" which are actually
distinct accounts on the same service - perhaps you have two separate Google
accounts, or your real IG page and a Finsta. In these cases, you'll want to take
advantage of the "Ignore entire set" button. This will add an `ignored_by_op_dedupe`
tag to each of the items in the set, and the tool will remove the set from the
overall list view.
