Watchtower Notification on Checking Account

Hi everyone,
1Password is showing a Watchtower Vulnerable Password alert for a saved checking account. As far as I know, there's no password field for this item, but there are fields for my routing number, account number, and PIN. There are also two linked items for my checking account: one for my debit card and another for my bank's login.

As a precaution, I changed the password for my bank.

My question is: Is there any other action I should take for this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi @pierre.meystre! Welcome to the forum!

    As far as I know, there's no password field for this item, but there are fields for my routing number, account number, and PIN.

    I wonder if perhaps you stored your PIN in the Password field for this item. This would explain why Watchtower told you that the PIN was vulnerable, since these are typically quite short and only made up of digits.

    Thanks ag_ana - it was indeed the PIN! Removing that field also cleared the Watchtower alert.

    Thanks so much for your help!
