Did you know 1=i is misleading?
The square root of complex number has many values with two distinct values. 1 has two distinct values i and i. This fact can be verified by taking square of i and i, which give the same answer 1. It is different to say i2=1 and 1=i unless we define 1 as principal square root of complex number. (see detail answer here)
