About the Watchtower categories
Watchtower sorts items into categories based on the security problems they have.
Identify vulnerable logins imported from LastPass
Imported from LastPass are logins that may have been compromised in a breach that LastPass experienced in August 2022.
To update your password, click Change password on website, then follow the steps to change your password and save it in 1Password.
Learn more about how to move your data from LastPass to 1Password.
Find compromised websites and vulnerable passwords
Compromised websites are logins for websites where a security breach has been reported, and you haven’t changed your password since the breach.
Vulnerable passwords are items with passwords that have been exposed in a data breach. An attacker may not know that you have used that password, but you should still change it.
Learn how to change your password.
Find websites that support passkeys
Passkeys available shows logins for websites that support passkeys, but don’t yet have a passkey saved in the item.
To create a passkey for an item, click Use passkey and follow the steps to save the passkey in 1Password.
Locate items saved in the wrong 1Password account
Items in another account are logins containing an email address that’s associated with a different 1Password account than where the item is saved.
To move the item to the appropriate account, click Move Item and choose the vault you want to move it to.
Identify reused and weak passwords
Reused passwords are items that share the same password.
Items in the “Reused passwords” category are grouped by the password they use, so you can see which items share a password.
Weak passwords are items with passwords that are easy to guess.
To keep all your accounts secure, make your passwords stronger.
Find unsecured websites
Unsecured websites are logins in which a website field that’s known to support HTTPS starts with http://. Any passwords you enter while on the site will be sent in plaintext and could be intercepted.
If the website supports https://, you can click Use HTTPS in the alert banner to update the URL.
Identify logins that support two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication shows logins for websites that support two-factor authentication, but don’t have a one-time password.
To set up two-factor authentication, click Learn how to turn on two-factor authentication. When you find your QR code, click Scan QR Code.
If you manage two-factor authentication in another app, click Ignore.
Check for expiring items
Expiring items shows items that have expired or are expiring soon, so you can take action.
Expiring items can include:
- credit cards, memberships, and driver’s licenses that are expiring within 2 months
- API credentials expiring within 3 months
- passports expiring within 10 months
Find duplicate items
Items with duplicates shows items with exact duplicates saved in the same vault.
To delete duplicates of an item, click Delete other duplicates.
To delete all duplicates at the same time:
- Click Watchtower in the sidebar.
- Click Show Items under “Items with duplicates”.
- Click Delete all duplicates at the top of the item list.
