Find a partial password

Hello @Ruarl! 👋

I'm sorry that you received a notice that one of your logins was breached. Searching for nd using the 1Password app should allow you to find all items with a password that includes those two characters in that order.

You can also use Watchtower to see if any of your currently saved passwords in 1Password need to be changed: Use Watchtower to find account details you need to change

If you can't find a password that matches what you see in the Experian alert and Watchtower doesn't flag any logins in need of changing then it's possible that the breached password is an old one that you've since changed, or it's a password that you never stored in 1Password. I would recommend reaching out to Experian to learn more about how old the password is and what service it was used for.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Dave. Searching for nd did appear to work, in that it gave me a shorter list of passwords to search through manually. Although, none of the passwords returned seemed to contain the string. Some more powerful tools for searching passwords would be useful - such as only searching passwords, searching by password length, or indicating the substring is at the end - all quite trivial things to add.

@Ruarl

When you search for nd, 1Password will return items that include that string anywhere in the item. This includes notes, usernames, titles, and other fields in addition to the password field. There isn't currently a way to just search for the password.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've filed a feature request on your behalf.

It's possible that you already changed the affected password at some point in the past. Or perhaps it's a password that you never stored in 1Password. I would reach out to Experian for more details on where the password was being used.
