Is there a way to "opt out" a particular saved site from Watchtower alerts?

For example, Speedway.com only allows for up to 8 digits in their password (digits only, no alpha characters) - not very secure. Watchtower has flagged it as such, but there's nothing I can do to change my password to something more secure.

Is there a way to tell Watchtower to NOT flag this saved password as "Vulnerable" and "Weak"?

Thanks!

    Hi @josepk!

    At the moment this is not possible, but our team is considering how to improve Watchtower notifications, and I know that this is one of the things that have been brought up before ;)

    OK - please add my request to the list. I think it would be very helpful to remove what I would consider "false positive" from Watchtower. In some cases, there's nothing a user can do to change a weak password due to the site's restrictions.

    Thank you!

    Even better, does 1Password ever "lobby" websites with misguided security requirements, such as the OP's? It would be really neat for there to be like a "developer relations" team within 1P to liaise with user-identified organizations that aren't using best practices.

    @Nebes:

    We don't reach out directly, but we try to inform as much as possible on our blog. See this post for an example:
