Watchtower tab: Password strength - how to get to details?

Watchtower shows Overall Password Strength with totals in each category. I'd like to work on the weaker ones without going through the entire list one at a time. I'd like to be able to click on the category in Watchtower and see the associated logins. Alternatively, in a list of all items (filtered by logins) I'd like to be able to sort by password strength. Currently you can only sort by Title, Date Created/Modified, or Alphabetically.

Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: Windows 10

    Hi @KnnNike,

    There is not currently an update on sorting passwords by strength in any item list. Currently the best way to get items sorted by password strength is to use feature you and @Digital05 described.

    I can see how the term weak passwords then showing passwords that are terrible could be a bit confusing. The reasoning for this is that when you click on "show items" in the Weak Passwords section, it is showing all passwords that are weak or worse, so terrible passwords would fall under that category.

    Any update on enabling this feature? To @Digital05 's point as well, there seems to be some inconsistency about how 'weak' is used in Watchtower

    If I go to the watchtower tab in Version 8 and click on weak passwords, it gives me a listing grouped by "terrible" passwords first and then a 2nd grouping with a header of "weak" passwords.

    Hey @BillStiles77 , thanks for this suggestion. We have heard requests for more granular sorting ability in Watchtower from some other folks as well (including being able to sort by password strength 👍), and have an existing issue around it filed with our developers. I'll add your name there to reflect customer demand.

    Thanks for telling us that this would improve your experience - and feel free to let us know if you've got any additional feedback to share! 😄
