Thanks for your messages. Depending on the length and parameters you are using for the generated password, copying and pasting the same password and saving the item can result in a reduced password strength.
Was this password originally generated using 1Password? Pasting what otherwise appears to be a strong password may not appear as such unless it was newly generated.

This should always create Strong or Fantastic and prevent it from appearing in Watchtower, depending on the parameters used:
