Search passwords

I've had an Experian alert saying:

Will a search of 1pswd be useful with just the 7d on the end?

Cheers

    Hello seanpk! 👋

    I'm sorry that you received a notice that one of your logins was breached. Searching for 7d using the 1Password app would indeed allow you to find all items with a password that includes those two characters in that order.

    You can also use Watchtower to see if any of your currently saved passwords in 1Password need to be changed: Use Watchtower to find account details you need to change

    If you can't find a password that matches what you see in the Experian alert and Watchtower doesn't flag any logins in need of changing then it's possible that the breached password is an old one that you've since changed, or it's a password that you never stored in 1Password. I would recommend reaching out to Experian to learn more about how old the password is and what service it was used for.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    -Dave

    Searched my list and found a couple of entries with 7d in a different position but noting like in the alert, might be sounding paranoid, but do you think I'm OK assuming it's an old pswd that has since been changed? (1pswd is the only place I create long long complex pswds)
