According to Agilebits' blogpost Watchtower will distinguish between patched and unpatched sites. It will advise you to hold back if they are still vulnerable.

Watchtower should update it's list daily if I recall correctly from the blogpost.

Hi guys,

@ronen:

Only after the website is (or ever was) vulnerable to the Heartbleed security bug - AND the website FIX THE BUG

It will show two Required Actions on the Watchtower list: Avoid and Change Password.

If the site has not patch their server, than we will mark it as Avoid and you should contact the site to find out what's going on.

So if ill change the password , I will not need to check again this website

If the site did patch their sever and updated its SSL certificate, you can then change your password. When you do change your password, 1Password will take it off the Watchtower list.

is the Watchtower will be automatically up to date or do I need to update manually and check again ? *Thanks

It checks for an update every hour, so you don't have to do anything.
