1Password 8: Watchtower issues

XIII

Some issues with 1Password 8's Watchtower that I noticed:

• Labels have the text Show <number> <quality> Passwords, which seem to be a "Call for action", but nothing happens when you tap on them
• On iOS I see large panes with vulnerable passwords, weak passwords, and inactive two-factor authentication accounts, but these panes are completely missing on iPadOS

1Password Version: 8.7.0 (80700045 Nightly)
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: iOS 15.4.1 & iPadOS 15.4.1

Just discovered a hidden gem: you can now "ignore"(/hide) (incorrect) "Inactive two-factor authentication" warnings (without adding the tag "2FA" as a workaround). Thank you for adding this!

Apparently this is/was already a thing in the desktop Apps? I never knew...

There's a bug though: I had 8 of such items and ignored 3 (so have 5 left), but 1Password 8 now reports 7 "Inactive two-factor authentication" accounts.

Hi @XIII,

There are a few of Watchtower fixes and improvements that didn't quite get finished in time for the first Early Access released. These fixes are coming.

The panes missing on iPad is an issue we've seen occur on a few iPads, but not all. We continue to search for the cause of this one and should have it fixed up soon.

Thanks,
Kevin

I improved my security by either adding 2FA to accounts that did not have it or mark them as ignored, because 1Password was wrong about 2FA being offered.

Watchtower now says I'm all good, but there is no way to get to the ignored alerts.

Can you please add UI/UX to show ignored alerts? (like the button in the bottom of the macOS Watchtower)

How reliable is your Core?

1Password 8 gives entirely different numbers on iOS and iPadOS... (for the "Fantastic" pane and for every item in the "Overall Password Strength" pane)

Also, what's the relation between those two panes? In "Fantastic" I see over 1,000 items, but the number of "Fantastic Passwords" in the "Overall Password Strength" pane is less than 400...)

Same here,
I actually have 704 items, Watch Tower indicates more than 1000...

The large number at the top isn't a count of passwords, but an overall score to indicate how secure you are. There are some changes coming that will make that clearer. Sorry for the confusion.

Aren’t we supposed to be able to drill down into each section of the watchtower? I can’t on iPad Pro.

Indeed I can't on iPhone either. It could be interesting to know which passwords are only "good".

"Drilling down" works on macOS, but not yet on iOS/iPadOS, it seems.

About that large number: please make sure to indicate whether a higher number is better or worse.
