About the Watchtower categories
Watchtower sorts items into seven categories based on the security problems they have.
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.
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 the first website field 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 Don’t Save in 1Password.
Check for expiring items
Expiring items shows items that are expiring soon, so you can take action:
- credit cards, memberships, and driver’s licenses that are expiring within 2 months
- passports expiring within 9 months
- items that have already expired
