Auto-generated password at the same time "Excellent" and "Fantastic"
I created 2 entries of the same account, with different website names. One entry was created at account creation and a generated password from 1Password was used.
The second entry was created when ...
I assume you kind of unmasked yourself involuntarily here, because you're good programmers. I just changed the first password to something else, then back to the generated one. The rating changed to "Excellent". So the real rating of the generated password according to your rating algorithm is actually "Excellent" and not "Fantastic".
My (slightly mean) interpretation is that you declare everything generated by your password generator as "Fantastic" and write this to the generated record. But if you manually paste such a password, your app doesn't know any more that it once generated this, so it applies the generic rating, which tells the truth.
It's a minor issue, of course, but please do the right thing from a technical point of view and don't manipulate things behind the curtain. If the password generator isn't able to generate a "Fantastic" password due to character set or length restrictions, tell us about this.
It may also just be some kind of edge case. If I append a simple "a" to that password, its rating is changed to "Fantastic".
