Quick answer
A compromised-password alert should be handled as a sequence, not a panic edit. Start with the account that can reset others, change the affected login with a unique password, enable MFA, check recovery methods, and sign out stale sessions after you confirm access.

Confirm product-specific steps with official 1Password documentation and each account provider's security help pages. This page stores nothing and should only contain non-sensitive planning decisions.

Safe response order
- Open the provider account only from its official site or app.
- Prioritize primary email, banking, identity, cloud, work and accounts that can reset other accounts.
- Generate a unique replacement password inside your password manager.
- Enable or strengthen MFA where available before relying on the new password alone.
- Check recovery email, phone, backup codes and emergency-access ownership.
- Review sessions, devices, connected apps and shared access after confirming you can log in.
- Document any family/team impact before rotating shared credentials.
Decision table
| Signal | Risk proxy | Smallest safe action |
|---|---|---|
| Compromised or reused password | Credential reuse can spread risk across unrelated accounts. | Rotate the most sensitive affected login first with a unique generated password. |
| Missing MFA | A password alone may be enough for account access. | Enable MFA and store backup codes securely outside the login session. |
| Old recovery method | Recovery can fail or point to an account you no longer control. | Update recovery methods before removing old sessions or devices. |
| Shared vault item | A surprise rotation can lock out family or team members. | Notify the owner group and confirm emergency access before cleanup. |
