"None" passwords?

When I sort by password strength, some of my manually-created logins/passwords are rated Terrible, Weak, Fair, or None. The first 3 ratings make sense but some of my logins rated "None" do have passw...

I've read the discussion you referenced and it sounds like you accept the current behavior has bugs. In particular, the original poster said:

"This is odd as I have passwords imported from Bitwarden which were definitely not created by 1Password, and all these do have proper strength ratings."

No one responded to that and the discussion was closed. (There is a subsequent post but it was not responsive to the observation I quoted.) My conclusion:

  1. Passwords created outside of 1P sometimes get correctly rated and some NONE-rated. This is a bug. (If not, tell me why.)

  2. "None" is a misleading term. If 1P is not rating a password, 1P should say "Not rated" or "Unrated" or something like that. "None" could still be used but only if there is no password.

  3. There should be a setting (perhaps a tag) to tell 1P that the lack of a password should not cause an account to be flagged in the Password Strength and Watchtower lists. (Same thing for the other password strength levels.)

  4. "Unrated" (if you follow my #2 suggestion) should appear under Watchtower. You may argue this but it's as justifiable there as under "sorted by Password Strength."
