Does Watchtower only run a check on the email in "My Profile"?

Hi,
In watchtower is the Breach Report only based on the email set in My Profile. I ask becasue intially the report was blank but when I changed the My Profile address to something different it then came up with a hit. I'm not not sure if it is checking against any other address other than the primary one.

    Hi @ScottyDo,

    Thank you for reaching out! I moved our discussion to Memberships, I hope you don't mind. :)

    That is correct: when you press "Breach Report" in Watchtower on 1Password.com, we check if the email address for your 1Password account has been found in any data breaches. You can learn more about how Watchtower works here:

    Please note that we do not know any other emails that you might have, so we can't check them in that Breach Report. I hope it helps.

    If you have other questions, we are always here for you. Thanks! :+1:
