Question

Sort by date of password creation, not date of record creation/modification

Scenario: I've been notified of a data breach so I want to update my older passwords. Currently, I can sort items by the date the record was created (or modified), but not the age of my passwords. So what I'm finding is that if I updated a note, or a URL, or a tag, etc, it resets the date the item was modified, meaning I can have a seven-year-old password needing updating that is grouped with the six-month-old items because I added a tag then. I realize that not all items have passwords so restricting this type of sorting to only logins and passwords seems appropriate.

Hello @j2sacks! 👋

Thank you for reaching out! Password changes for no other reason but because an amount of time has passed is no longer recommended as a security practice by many cybersecurity experts and organizations such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I recommend that you change your passwords if one of the following conditions is met:

  1. The password for a website/account is not a secure and unique password generated by 1Password.
  2. 1Password's Watchtower sends you a warning that your password for a website/account has been reused or was found in a data breach.

I've been notified of a data breach so I want to update my older passwords.

Was this notification provided by 1Password's Watchtower feature? If it wasn't then can you tell me a little more about why you're looking to change older passwords? Did the notification not tell you which specific password was part of the breach?

You can use Watchtower to find passwords that you need to change: Use Watchtower to find account details you need to change
