How can I set 1pw to not ask for pw on iOS?

I have it set to not ask on my Mac, but it still insists on pw every 2 weeks on iOS. How can I set it to use fingerprint only?

Hello @crp1pw! 👋

Thank you for the question! You can change how often you're required to enter your account password by following these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for iOS.
  2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
  3. Tap Security.
  4. Change "Require password" to the desired option.

If you choose "Never" on all of your devices then make sure that you don't forget your account password. Personally, I would recommend that you let 1Password prompt you for your account password once every 2 weeks on your Mac so that you keep using the password and don't forget it.

I hope that helps! 🙂
