Bug? Two-factor authentication

Perhaps a bug, or doesn't make sense anyway.
When you dismiss the 2FA message and press "Don't Save in 1Password", it automatically adds a tag for 2FA.
If you've dismissed 2FA, it should not show up with a 2FA tag...

    Hi @PeterThornton!

    This is a way to avoid an item from showing up in Watchtower: if you dismiss the 2FA message, 1Password assumes that you enabled 2FA for this website using a third-party authenticator, and Watchtower would show you a warning for missing 2FA. By adding this tag, this warning is removed :)

    I understand, but dismissing it adds the tag 2FA - which it shouldn't;...

    @PeterThornton:

    I agree, this is something that was added some time ago as a quick way to dismiss warnings, but I know the team is thinking about ways to make the process better in the future, without using tags :+1:

    IMHO the 2FA tag should show only items that have the 2FA field enabled within 1Password. Perhaps a header could be added to the actual card for the item under the title that says "2FA Available" or something like that. Alternatively, have 2 tags -one for 2FA Enabled and another for 2FA Available. I'd say a user definitely needs to be able to easily look up entries that only have 2FA enabled incase they ever need to change to another authentication method.

    Thank you for the feedback @PeterThornton, I have passed it to the developers :+1:

    Perhaps a header could be added to the actual card for the item under the title that says "2FA Available" or something like that.

    This is already available. Here is a screenshot for you of what it looks like:
