Watchtower Not Finding Duplicate Passwords

Hello ings! 👋

Thanks for the question. Watchtower only considers a password to be reused if it appears on more than one website. In your case, since the two items share the same website address Watchtower would not consider that to be a case of a reused password.

My spouse and I often create his (my email) and hers (her email) logons on various web sites. When I'm in a hurry, and if it doesn't really matter security-wise, I'll create my logon item, then duplicate it and change the duplicate item's title and email address to my spouse's. So now I have two logon items that have different titles and email addresses but that share a password.

Can you tell me a little more about this process and why you sometimes create logins like this? Wouldn't you still need to go to the website itself and create your wife's account on that website separately? It seems like it would be faster to save your wife's login, with a unique securely generated password, using the browser extension rather than duplicating an existing item: Save and fill passwords in your browser

I look forward to hearing from you.
