I'm sorry that you received a notice that one of your logins was breached. Searching for nd
using the 1Password app should allow you to find all items with a password that includes those two characters in that order.
You can also use Watchtower to see if any of your currently saved passwords in 1Password need to be changed: Use Watchtower to find account details you need to change
If you can't find a password that matches what you see in the Experian alert and Watchtower doesn't flag any logins in need of changing then it's possible that the breached password is an old one that you've since changed, or it's a password that you never stored in 1Password. I would recommend reaching out to Experian to learn more about how old the password is and what service it was used for.
Let me know if you have any questions.
