The same password is judged Fantastic in Primary account and Terrible in personal account.

    I wonder if this is just me.

    @fresco_ca: That would make sense if you had 1Password generate it for you in the item in your Primary vault, and then you copied and pasted that password into another item in your Personal vault. 1Password only gives high strength rating to passwords which it knows how they were created, since that's the only way it can accurately calculate entropy. Does that match your experience?

    Though looking at that password @fresco_ca, I think you might have encountered the "terrible" bug in 1Password for Mac, which was fixed last May. Can you let me know exactly what version of 1Password you are using?

    That bug turned out to be that for some entries the password strength for the default password in the item (which might even be empty) was being reported as the strength of all password fields in the item. But you should not be encountering this bug in more recent versions.
