Watchtower Score not increased by MFA, passkeys or better passwords
Months ago my score for over five hundred (mostly Login) items was N. Since then I have
* replaced many tens of VERY GOOD passwords with EXCELLENT passwords,
* added tens of one-time passwords†, ...

ModeratorHello AJCxZ0! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! You might not always see the Watchtower score go up since not all fixes result in a "whole number" increase to the Watchtower score. That being said, it does seem like you've made a lot of changes and I'd like to look into this further.
To help me better understand the situation I'd like to ask you to take a screenshot of what you're seeing on your various devices and send them in an email to support+forum@1Password.com along with a link to this thread. Please use the email address associated with your 1Password account.
After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place. 🙂

I am experiencing the same issue. I am using both the Mac client and the iphone client. I have deleted, archived and improved passwords on literally hundreds of entires, but the Watchtower score has not moved a single digit.
I tried adding an entry with username test and password test. The score did not change.
The only thing that will influence the score is selecting/deselecting settings such as "check for vulnerable passwords" or "check for two-factor authentication".
It seems that Watchtower is not actually calculating a score based on the entires in the database at all. I upgraded the database from 1password 7 if that matters.
I am running 1Password for Mac 8.10.64 (81064007) and 8.10.64 for iOS.
