22 TopicsPassword breach report question
Hi I saw some recent massive breach news on the websites but I couldn't find a single breach entry on Watchtower reports. Does this really mean my accounts were really never breached or Watchtower is not doing its job? https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/16-billion-apple-facebook-google-and-other-passwords-leaked-act-now/28475 https://cybernews.com/security/billions-credentials-exposed-infostealers-data-leak/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2025/06/20/16-billion-apple-facebook-google-passwords-leaked---change-yours-now/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2025/05/23/184162718-passwords-and-logins-leaked---apple-facebook-snapchat/ https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/16-billion-accounts-exposed-in-one-of-the-largest-data-breaches-in-history-enormous-data-haul-holds-two-accounts-for-every-human-alive https://www.tomsguide.com/news/live/16-billion-passwords-data-breach https://time.com/7296254/passwords-leaked-data-breach/200Views0likes5CommentsIs there a way to re-identify all accounts that offer passkey?
I'm a newbie to 1P. When I imported all my passwords from Lastpass, I noted that many of them had a banner saying "Passkey available". I didn't really know what a passkey was and deleted that banner on many of the accounts as I updated passwords. Now, I'm thinking I would like to use passkeys in a lot of situations. Is there a way to have 1Password look through my accounts and re-assess which ones might allow passkeys? Or, I notice that Watchtower has a tile to see all accounts where Passkey is available. Could it be the ones where I killed the banner are still found by clicking on that? Thanks!Solved104Views0likes3CommentsPassword strength: fantastic vs. excellent for same password
I have accounts on Wikipedia and Wikimedia. They have the same password. 1Password rates that password as fantastic for the Wikimedia entry but only excellent for the Wikipedia entry. Any thoughts on this? I would love to turn on 2FA for these accounts but 2FA seems only available to certain classes of users on these sites.Solved85Views0likes5CommentsAdd intelligent deduplication during import process
In the last couple months, I have helped over half a dozen clients migrate their passwords from browsers to 1Password. In doing so, I have found that when exporting from a browser to CSV, each record that contains multiple URLs is broken apart into separate records. As a result, when importing to 1Password, a ton of manual cleanup is required. Sadly, the app lacks an easy way to complete this. It would be nice if 1Password included an easier ability to discover duplicates, separate from Watchtower's Reused Passwords section. However, as 1Password is capable of storing login records with multiple URLs, the app should be intelligent enough to recognize and unify such rows in a CSV import. Please add a capability. This would save users lots of time and might also prevent some of them from being discouraged about making the switch in the first place. It shouldn't be so tedious to transition from browser-based password management to 1Password.Solved79Views2likes4CommentsConfusion on PassKeys with MS
I am confused as to why 1PW shows me that a Passkey is available for OneDrive, which is linked to a paid 365 account, yet OneDrive has a Passkey. I can see only so many Passkeys in my MS Account Settings, which I assume is separate from what I can see on 1PW. One additional note, where the heck can I see my Passkeys or what logins on 1PW have Passkeys? If it is there, it isn't simple to get to, or is it? Passkeys are great, but I am still skeptical about how they are administered between organizations like Microsoft, 1PW, etc. It feels like a cryptic, unorganized nightmare.Solved75Views2likes4CommentsWatchTower suggest Passkey
Hej, My Watchtower suggests that I use Passkey on https://www.alfredforum.com. I logged in there to change to Passkey, but they do not support Passkeys... I contacted the admin of Alfred and asked him where I can switch to Passkey, but the admin informed me that they do not support this. So maybe there is some wrong information in 1Password... But how can I fix it? Or can you - 1Password developers - change this?Solved70Views0likes3Comments1Password Account marked Vulnerable
I recently ran a workshop to help Mac users get savvy with 1Password. Among 9 participants, after enabling Check for vulnerable passwords in the app's Privacy settings, at least 2 found that their 1Password Account record was marked as vulnerable. This seemed really odd to me. Additionally, working one-on-one with one of these users after the workshop, she changed her account password and found that the item was still listed as vulnerable. This was after the app updated to the latest version (as of 8 July 2025). Is there a bug in the app that can cause 1Password Account records to appear in the Vulnerable Passwords listing of Watchtower?62Views0likes4CommentsWatchtower idea
So I go into Watchtower, and it's always pretty overwhelming—68 vulnerable passwords, 78 weak ones, etc. Trying to get this in better shape is daunting. So I do what most people do: close Watchtower and try not to think about it. But what if we could chip away at it in a way that didn't feel so overwhelming? What if every day, 1Password gave me one website from Watchtower to change my password on? It could priorities sites that are both vulnerable and have passkeys available, so it's only a couple clicks and users start seeing progress. Then it goes to vulnerable, and down the line of whatever is most important. In just a few weeks you'd start seeing your score improve which is relieving and motivating.55Views2likes3CommentsWatchtower and password ages
Hello, Watchtower is informing me of accounts that have 2FA available but not enabled. How does 1Password check to see if you have 2FA enabled on an account? I had an account and enabled 2FA and that account was still listed as not having 2FA enabled, even though it was. I then added a 2FA tag to the entry and it was removed from Watchtower. I then added a 2FA tag to another account that was in Watchtower where 2FA was available, but not enabled. I did not enable 2FA on the account, but did add 2FA tag to the entry and that caused it to disappear from Watchtower. Does Watchtower check the account somehow or does it just check to see if you have a 2FA tag on the entry? Not sure if other similar tags would give the same result. Also, does 1Password 8 have the feature where it has categories on the left side showing passwords that are 3, 6 etc. months old or 1-3 years old? Thank you!Solved52Views0likes7CommentsWatchtower question
Watchtower tells me I have one "reused password", and it happens to be my 1Password password. But it only shows one item, so I don't understand why it thinks there is a duplicate somewhere. Can anyone explain this behavior? Windows 11, latest 1Password release, running the 1Password extension in Firefox.45Views0likes3Comments
