Watchtower does not report duplicate passwords

Hi there,

I know I have login entries using the same password, as I do not have a choice for them to be different. For example all Microsoft Online accounts (Skype, One Drive) or Amazon (Prime, Prime Now, Prime video) use the same credentials (password and OTP) and it is not possible, as far as I know, to do otherwise.

Nevertheless, Watchtower does not show those items under the duplicate password section. Only one duplicate is shown and it is not one of the above.

How do you explain this behavior? Is it a bug or is it due to the way the data is entered?

Thank you,

Hello all! I was able to reproduce this on the latest iOS build and am looking into it. Thank you for letting us know about this!

Hello everyone! I was able to figure out the reason for this:

1Password 8 now maintains a list of domains that share login systems as you described. When you reuse a password across these domains, no warnings are generated because 1Password is aware that they are on the same system.
