I just wanted to pop in to say this has been a great thread to follow. Thanks for starting it!

Can someone say what the various password strength fields (ps, pbe, and pgrng) are used for? When creating new items, what would I lose by leaving those fields out?

@rnml,

Those overview fields are used to display the relative password strength value.

user entered:
ps is the value for manually entered passwords and is used to display the relative strength value.

generator based:
pbe describes the bits of entropy used for generating the password
pgrng denotes that pbe should be used for password strength display

by omitting ps or pbe/pgrng all your passwords will likely show up as weak in the 1Password interface.
