Question

TouchID requires password too often

I realize there are several discussions about this, but in order to provide something definitive, I did an experiment, keeping track of all results. I ensured 1Password was configured to require a password for TouchID every 30 days (screenshot below). In a single 48-hour period, using 1Password on macOS (Ventura v13.0.1), I used AutoFill a total of 50 times. Out of those 50 times, 1Password required my actual password (not TouchID) 10 times. If this is a bug and expected behavior...I'm perfectly fine with it. But if it's not supposed to occur, can someone explain why it does? Having to type in a password this often defeats the purpose of TouchID. Thanks.


1Password Version: 8.9.8
Extension Version: 2.4.1
OS Version: macOS 13.0.1
Browser:_ Safari

I'm sorry that you're still seeing the issue. I see from a previous post that you have "Require password" set to "Every 2 weeks" but are prompted for your account password whenever you unlock your screen. Please reproduce the issue one more time, note the exact time when you are asked for your account password, and then generate a diagnostics report:

@1P_Dave I'm confused as to why you keep acting like this is unexpected behavior. I'm not prompted every time I unlock my screen, but I'm prompted at least twice a day on every single one of my macs. And so is everyone in my family, and everyone else I know. Whatever logic is being used for this seems to be confusing "days" with "minutes"

It is far, far too constant of behavior.

The change log in macOS v8.10.7 (81007041) says this has been resolved, and so far it's working fine. Crossing my fingers it's fixed. Thanks! 🙂
