Weak password

Katatonic

Hi all!
I have a weird issue in watchtower. Some passwords marked weak, but generated by 1password tools and looks good. For example :

---

1Password Version: 8.10.16
_Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
_Browser: Not Provided

Hi there @Katatonic

Did you copy that password from another item into this one? When 1Password assesses how strong a password is, it gives it bonus points (for lack of a better term) for ones that came from its own password generator, since it knows where they came from.

Other copy-pasted passwords will be "scored" lower since their origin isn't known.

If those passwords stayed within the same item but were scored as weak, let me know. :)

Hi @GreyM1P !
I copied that password from 1pasword password generator in 1password chrome browser extension.

Hello again @Kataonic,

Thanks for your reply. It sounds like you copied and pasted the password generated from the 1Password browser extension to the 1Password app and saved it. Is this the case?

After a quick test with a Random Password at 10 characters long, I was also getting a different score (Fair) after copying and saving it to the app. Then, followed the work flow to create a new password in the app, am now seeing an Excellent score for the same random, 10 character password:

• Change your password in the 1Password apps

Give this a try and let us know if you see better results!
