1Password Watchtower MFA and Recovery Gap Checklist

Use a browser-only checklist to review MFA, recovery contacts, backup codes, trusted devices and emergency access after a Watchtower-style security alert.

Quick answer

Password rotation is safer when MFA and recovery paths are checked at the same time. Review primary email first, then financial, identity, cloud and work accounts; store backup codes safely before removing old devices or signing out sessions.

Safe response order

  1. Open the provider account only from its official site or app.
  2. Prioritize primary email, banking, identity, cloud, work and accounts that can reset other accounts.
  3. Generate a unique replacement password inside your password manager.
  4. Enable or strengthen MFA where available before relying on the new password alone.
  5. Check recovery email, phone, backup codes and emergency-access ownership.
  6. Review sessions, devices, connected apps and shared access after confirming you can log in.
  7. Document any family/team impact before rotating shared credentials.
