Watchtower and Collections

Yes, collections work the same way in all version 8 apps.

Is there a similar option in the macOS App?

(I mainly use company passwords on my company's MacBook)

I’ll try that, but I would still prefer a collection selection specific for Watchtower, because I’d like those company passwords to be accessible in my main/regular collection. Reason for that: I can’t always autofill them. Sometimes I have to use copy/paste.

XIII This is a supported configuration. You can create two collections, one that includes everything you want to fill in AutoFill, and another that contains only the vaults you want to see in Watchtower. You can assign one of them in Settings > AutoFill to be the collection used there, and then use the other collection within the app for Watchtower.

Feature request: allow different Collection selections for auto-fill and Watchtower.

Reason for asking: I have a separate vault for Company passwords (which are weak, but shared, and I am not allowed to change them). I want to auto-fill these, but I don't want to see them in Watchtower (since they are not "actionable").

@Stukey and 1P_Ben, thanks for the follow-ups. Yes, I know about Collections, and I’ve created one. I do see now that Watchtower on iOS filters the results to the active collection — helpful! I don’t think the score updates, though. When I saw the score didn’t change, I incorrectly assumed that none of the Watchtower interface updated. Is it possible that the score can be based on the active Collection, too?

Thanks for chiming in, @stukey!

@DunDad If you haven't explored the functionality stukey outlined yet, we have a guide available on this here:

Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

You can do this using collections. Add all the vaults you are interested in monitoring to a new collection. Then switch to that collection. Watchtower will only show you info for the vaults in that collection! There’s even a little reminder that tells you this in the watchtower UI:
