Require account password reminder on mobile

Hello,

My problem: In mobile app I’m using the „Require Account Password” set to 7 days. My assumption is that this setting increases the security of my 1Password on mobile. However, I always face the password prompt in the least secure places. You know, 1Password on mobile is used on mobile. So it’s quite often that I need to fill in some random password to a service in a hurry. I’d say 90% of the times when I really need my password to be filled in, the app is locked and requires my master password. I do want however to keep that setting on. Having it to 30 days or „never” doesn’t solve the issue though - it makes it either less secure or just less frequent.
My proposal. Send a push notification X hours before the password prompt will kick in. Having that, I’ll be able to find a secure place to type my quite long password instead of stressing out when typing password with errors in front of strangers because the ticketing service logged me out 🫠 (or there is any other „rush” situation).

Hi @konradalfaro, thanks for writing in. I can definitely see the benefit in having some sort of advanced notice that your password will be required on a 1Password mobile app. I can't say if or when such a feature might be implemented, but I've shared your interest with the team.

I'm curious if you're specifically interested in an advanced notice feature like you mentioned, or if other similar features would be helpful if they were added. For example something that lets you temporarily differ entering your password after the 7 days are up, or an option to reset the counter by entering your password at convenient time prior to the end of the 7 day period.

Thanks again!

Sounds like it would for me as well. Whatever way to avoid putting my master password in front of an angry line of people, or a gas station, would be appreciated!

I’d like to make it so I can have the “require password” set to a specific day and time. For example, every Monday at 3am it resets. That way I can have a reminder when I wake up Monday morning to enter my password and I’ll be good for the week.

Hi @hughbiquitous, thanks for your feedback! I can definitely understand how being able to set a specific day and time for the require password reminder would be useful, and I've filed a feature request on your behalf.
