How can I disable vulnerable passwords service?
Hello, is it safe the service of vulnerable password? Then, if I do not want to use it, on my Mac I have simply to switch off the function, but how can I disable the service on the website? I think that is always active. Thank you.

Hi @prencipeg! Welcome to the forum!
Are you perhaps referring to Watchtower?

Yes, about the function of haveibeenpaned

I want to know if the service offered by haveibeenpwned and integrated in one password is safe. Because I read that there are some conditions for which is better to switch off the function of "Vulnerable passwords". In case, I want to know how to switch off it on the website (I know only the procedure on the Mac app).

Thank you for the clarification. The integration that Watchtower uses is indeed safe. We have a documentation page about Watchtower privacy, if you want to know the details :)
You cannot disable the feature on the website, but the vulnerable password feature can only be activated by you manually. So if you don't want to use it, you can simply ignore it and Watchtower won't include those results in the report.

Ok thank you. Do you suggest to use the vulnerable password feature? Because I don’t understand this: “ Your passwords are never shared with the Pwned Passwords service. However, if you have similar weak passwords like MySekret1 and MySekret1!, there’s a risk that Have I Been Pwned could learn your passwords if they acted maliciously. Strong, unique passwords created with the password generator in 1Password are not at risk“.

@prencipeg: haveibeenpwnd.com uses hashes of passwords to compare them without actually knowing the passwords. But if you have a very weak password, the server could know which password you have based on existing breaches because it will match what it has in its database. If you change any weak passwords to make them stronger, you'll be in good share though. :)
