20 TopicsWatchtower 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!34Views0likes5CommentsWork passwords vs personal passwords
I've used my 1Password account to store my personal passwords, but I also have a few passwords I use at the place I work. Is there any way to keep these passwords seperate? My work passwords are pretty weak, and I have no authority to change the passwords. I don't want these weak, duplicated passwords to affect my Watchtower score. Thanks.26Views0likes1CommentImprove keyboard accessibility and/or add bulk edit functionality
When using Watchtower to identify logins with an unsecured website (https://arc.net/l/quote/kdqsqkih), I want the ability to bulk update these items. It's convenient that there's a banner atop each item and I can click a button to change HTTP to HTTPS, but there's no easy way to do this in succession for multiple items. In other apps with a list view, I can use the arrow keys to easily navigate the list. This includes pressing the down arrow to select the top item when nothing is selected as well as having the next item in one direction or the other be selected when I delete/remove the selected item. Neither of these behaviors happens in 1Password. At minimum, please permit better keyboard accessibility in 1Password list views. Better would be a button that changes all unsecured websites at once.17Views1like1CommentPassword 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/198Views0likes5CommentsConfusion 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.Solved70Views2likes4Comments1Password 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?57Views0likes4CommentsPassword 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.Solved66Views0likes5CommentsWhy is 2FA suggestion enabled when I have created a passkey already
I have a username/password for https://intuit.com and have generated a PassKey. But in my account record, I'm still seeing the suggestion for 2FA. Wouldn't the passkey be considered enough to stop that suggestion from appearing?Solved24Views0likes1CommentAdd 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.Solved76Views2likes4Comments
