4 years agoWatchtower does not report duplicate passwords
Hi there,
I know I have login entries using the same password, as I do not have a choice for them to be different. For example all Microsoft Online accounts (Skype, One Drive) or Amazon (Prime, Pr...

4 years ago@Digital05, in 1Password 7 on iOS, if I click on any of the entries sharing the same password, I have an alert telling me that it is indeed reused…so it works as it is supposed to.
I tested Watchtower on 1Password.com with a specific password shared among 3 accounts (Microsoft Online, Skype and OneDrive) and it does report correctly the duplicates so it’s also working there.
1P_Tommy, if I take the example above, the three items DO NOT share the same base URL, they’re completely different:
login.skype.com
onedrive.live.com
login.microsoftonline.com
The passwords and the OTP are exactly the same for the three.
In the case of Amazon, Prime Now and Prime Video, which also share the same password and OTP, the URL is a variation of the same for 2 items, but a different one for another:
Amazon.com
Amazon.sg
Amazon.com/Prime-Video/
I confirm that 1Password 8 for Mac also behave this way and does not report the duplicates for Microsoft and Amazon.
FYI, the only reported duplicate password in Watchtower is a Login entry VS a Password entry (lacking a URL field).
Thanks a lot for checking with the team!
