Difference in password strength shown between Autofill and manual entry in 1Password
I am updating my passwords, which according to Watchtower are "Excellent" to "Fantastic".
There are sites where autofill is not working, so what I do is copy the generated password and update it in the 1Password windows app.
I notice that if the password is updated using Autofill in the browser extension, the password strength is shown as "Fantastic".
If I copy and manually update the password, the strength is shown as "Excellent".
Password (17 characters) using Autofill:
Password (19 characters) using manual entry:
Is there some secret magic sauce added when using Autofill?
