What is the meaning of the number in the upper-right corner of the Watchtower screen?

Yeah. It definitely seems like this feature needs more time in the oven. I’m hoping that as the beta progresses that it matures into a useful tool that will help encourage non-geeks to improve their password practices. As it sits right now it seems mostly like a gimmick.

I agree with the comment above, it is not clear what the scale is…a score of 1xxx out of? 1500? 2000? And how did you get to that number? 1 to 10 or A to E would have been more intuitive in my opinion.

Also, as pointed in this thread: is the gauge accurate? Why is the arrow in the middle for a “Fantastic” score? And why this choice of colors rather than red/amber/green which is intuitively recognized?

Finally, the animation feels a bit unnecessary, nice to see the first time, but not every single time.

The values also seem very suspect. All my logins have long, complex. and unique password and my rating is “fantastic,” which seems reasonable. But…I put the beta on my wife’s phone and she (despite me trying to help her) has passwords that are all weak, short, and frequently duplicates, and her rating is “Very Good.” - So now she thinks her password practices are fine, which clearly they aren’t. It seems to me that this is the exact opposite of what the people at 1PW would want to accomplish with this feature.

I'm still wondering what this score is all about. Without some form of scale or legend, the values are hard to understand or to interpret.

after the update I have the arrow and the animation. It is a bit unclear what the animation is trying to show. I suspect that it isn’t finished.

Weird. I also don’t get any animation (and I verified that I don’t have “Reduce Motion” turned on). Maybe they are doing some A/B testing among the beta group.

It‘s probably using a different design on an iPad compared to an iPhone.

Edit: I‘ve just checked my iPhone 13. It‘s using exactly the same design as in my iPad example above, i.e. colored circle with number and triangle.

Whoa! That looks totally different than what I have (check the screenshot I posted in the first post)

The triangle within the circle…

In this example at 12 o‘clock position.

What arrow are you guys referring to?
