What is "Vulnerability alert: compromised password"

On the 1Password iPhone app, my Facebook password has a red message "Vulnerability alert: Compromised password."

What does this mean?

Hi @omc243! Welcome to the forum! :)

Compromised Logins are logins for websites where a security breach has been reported, and you haven’t changed your password since the breach.

I strongly recommend you change your passwords for your Facebook account and make it stronger.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

I discovered this as well for my Facebook account but I am confused since I am not aware of any leaked passwords for Facebook. I also checked my password with https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords and it does not seem to be in any of the known breaches.

I updated the password the last time on 2019-02-06 which means the breach must have been published within the last few weeks but I could not find anything about it. Could this be a false alarm?

Thanks,
Shoe

Hi @Shoe,

The issue was announced by Facebook on March 21.

Does that help?
