These sections of Watchtower serve as a comprehensive audit of your password past, which simplifies the process of updating to strong, unique passwords if it finds vulnerabilities. With 1Password and macOS’s abilities to generate random strong passwords, there’s no reason to use the same passwords on multiple sites or create short crackable passwords. Watchtower also analyzes your database for reused and weak passwords. If a site has had a data breach that may have compromised a login or password you use, you’ll find it here. Right at the top are ‘Compromised Logins’ and ‘Vulnerable Passwords,’ which securely compare your logins and passwords against the enormous database maintained at without transmitting your passwords to anyone. Clicking on Watchtower in the sidebar expands reveals each of its components. You’ll find Watchtower in 1Password’s left-hand sidebar where it lives in a dedicated section. Watchtower provides alerts of security breaches that may have exposed your login credentials. The feature still does that, but with 1Password 7, Watchtower does much more. Watchtower started as a service to let users know when they should change a password because it had been compromised. There are dozens of other changes big and small that along with a design refresh that make 1Password 7 an excellent update. 1Password also works better than ever with app logins. The app will still be familiar to long-time users, but features like Watchtower and Vaults have been extended with new capabilities that are worth exploring if you haven’t in a while. That’s important because it doesn’t take much friction for someone to get lazy about security.ġPassword 7 is a comprehensive update that touches every corner of the app. There’s been more to 1Password than just password storage for a while now though, and what sets this update apart is the depth of those other features and the ease with which they can be incorporated in your everyday computing life. The app has always been the best way to store passwords for websites, and for years, that’s primarily how I’ve thought of it. I’ve used 1Password since I started using a Mac.
