Malfunction in Security Audit.
The Security Audit is supposed to show „old passwords that might benefit from a bit of freshening up“ (Manual. But it doesn't. It refers to the date of the creation of the Login, not the date of the last change, which my have just been made.

Greetings @publicom,
I've not found this to be the case so I think we might need to delve a little deeper into what you've observed. For example our Login items maintain a password history that also does store the timestamps. We also record a last modified timestamp for all items as well as when it was first created.
I had a Login item showing as last updated 49 weeks ago so it appeared in the 6-12 months old section. I went through the steps to change the password and thanks to having more than one Login item for that site I updated the wrong one - that will teach me to pay more attention. So I manually updated the correct Login item and it was removed from the 6-12 months old section just as I expected it to.
So this leaves us with what was different for you so that you didn't observe the correct behaviour that you should. Is there anything you can tell us about what you changed, how you changed it and what happened afterwards that left you believing that it wasn't working. Hopefully we can determine the cause and work from there :smile:

Hello littlebobbytables,
thank You for the fast reply. I sent You a screenshot, that should make things clearer.As You can see, items are listed in the 1-3 Years old („1-3 Jahre alt“) section, even the date of last change („Geändert“) was recently.
It looks like the categorie reffers to the date of creation („Erstellt“) instead of the date of last change.
Best regards

Hi @publicom,
Thanks for the screenshot!
Just to be clear, the Security Audit sections for 3+ years old, 1-3 years old, and 6-12 months old are looking at the last time a password was changed. So if you recently made other changes to a Login item (for example: adding or editing a URL, editing the notes field, adding custom fields/sections), but you haven't changed the password in that item for 1-3 years, that item will show up in the 1-3 years old section. The purpose is to show you items that have older passwords, and not which items have had other kinds of recent changes.
Does that help to explain why you're seeing those items listed there?

Yes, this explains it. Obviously other things than the password has been changed. Thank You!
