Why am I getting conficting messages on my 1Password App?

My Outlook email account was hacked so I generated a new 10-word password.
On the Passwords Page it says “Fantastic” but on the Login Page it says “Terrible.” What’s going on?

1Password Version: 1Password 7 Version 7.5 (70500002) Mac App Store

    Hi @kohls

    The way password strength is calculated could use some improvement and consistency. My apologies for the discrepancy. If you've generated a 10-word password using 1Password's password generator, and haven't modified it, I'd be more inclined to believe it is 'fantastic.' It is always going to be a bit subjective, but hopefully in a future iteration of the app we can do better about showing more realistic and consistent ratings for passwords.

    Thanks. I have passwords with fewer words that are labeled "Fantastic" so I'm assuming it's safe. The password changing process for Outlook is a nightmare so I don't really want to have to do it again.

    Totally understandable. I'm sorry this doesn't currently reliably report more consistently. Hopefully we can get that fixed up. :)
