Passwords older than some timespan
Is there a way to find passwords older than a certain number of days/months? Seems like that should be a Watchtower feature.
Thank you for the reply. 1Password doesn't include a reminder to change your passwords when an arbitrary amount of time has passed because we don't recommend that practice. Instead we recommend that you change your passwords if one of the following conditions is met:
- The password for a website/account is not a secure and unique password generated by 1Password.
- 1Password's Watchtower sends you a warning that your password for a website/account has been reused or was found in a data breach.

The standard advice is to change passwords 'regularly'.
If I decide I want to change mine yearly, wouldn't it be handy to be able to identify 'old' passwords?
