Hi techtroubles101, I have an update for you!

In our latest Beta, it is now possible to sort your passwords by Watchtower strength rating, so that you can easily locate all the "weak" passwords, "fair" ones, and so on. Here's how it works!

First, you'll need to be on the Beta release channel. If you still are, currently, then you should be able to just update the app and the new feature will appear. 👍

Within the app:

  1. Go to Watchtower
  2. Click on the color-coded bar beneath "Overall Password Strength."

This will open a list of your items, sorted by strength, with a label at the top of each section (so all your "fantastic" passwords appear first, and so on down the list). And hopefully that will be helpful as you deal with whatever passwords need strengthening!

Thanks again for your feedback on this so far, and we hope this will come as welcome news. 🥳
