.

I have upgraded to 1Password 8 for Mac. Yesterday I had to re-set my iPhone settings and since then I cannot use Face ID to open 1Password. I have re-installed the 1Password app, checked to make sure 1Password is approved for using Face ID on my phone. Can you advise?

Where to update the setting for leaving 1Password signed in

iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.2. Where is the setting to keep me signed in for two weeks in the iPhone 1Password app version 8?

Tap your icon, Settings/Security/Face ID interval. I do have mine set to 2 weeks and it has been adhering to that schedule with no issues.

Pappjo I can't find where those settings are. Please see my screen shot. And thank you for the super fast reply! Now I can't seem to upload a picture. I'll try to describe it. The bottom of the app has the home icon, vault, icon, search icon, and watch tower icon. The top of the app doesn't have anything I can tap on. Are you able to send me a screenshot of your iPhone app where the setting is please? Thank you.

When I launch the app on my phone at the very top of the screen on the left is a generic little man icon. If you tap that then a drop down menu appears with Settings in the list. Tap that and the next screen is as shown below. Tap Security and you can set your Face ID intervals.

PappJo - Thank you. It didn't solve the problem because I found the settings and I had it set to 30 days. The upper left tiny icon is a picture of my dog. I didn't even think to tap on it.

PappJo I just tried to work around the problem by turning off Face ID and changing the setting to two weeks. I closed the app and reopened it and I still had to enter my password. I'm going to reboot my phone for the hundredth time.

I haven’t personalized mine yet!😃 But try changing that interval. There were previous reports that the 2 week setting wasn’t being adhered to and some got it to work by changing that to one week. Maybe the 30 days creates some issue. So far 2 weeks works on both my phone and ipad. And whatever you do don’t reset all settings on your phone, that seems to be the common factor in almost all these complaints. I’ve never done that on any device and have not had any such issue with 1PW. Although I waited quite a while to migrate to 1PW 8 because of reading through these complaints. But I’ve had no problems since doing so.

We just missed each others posts. Good luck. You may have this bug for some reason.

I didn't reset anything. I just shut it down but it didn't help. I don't have this problem on my iPad mini 5. I have the iPhone set to ask for the password after two weeks, but I'm prompted immediately to enter it. I decided to turn Face ID back on. No change.

PappJo Do you know this answer because I can't get a response to my other question please. How do I remove an empty vault from 1Password 8 for iOS on my iPhone.

By the way, I changed the time between having to enter passwords and it didn't help. I also got an email from Support stating that they have a fix and it will be in the next update.
