Update when major password hack
Since the frequency of major break in security in main websites (Amazon, ebay...) is increasing would it make sense for 1password to remind you to change the password for the affected sited when news of major hacking are released?

Hello @laurentperche,
We have a service within the 1Password for Mac app called Watchtower which performs that function. We update the service when there are major, confirmed security breaches on websites across the world wide web and it will notify 1Password users it's time to update their passwords! Have a look at our blog post from earlier this year for more details.
Just head into 1Password's preferences and click the Watchtower tab to enable the service. :smile:
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

From there you can select what will result in an email being sent. One useful one might be Notify me when people mention me. as that is what the @laurentperche is.
