‘Never’ option removed from Require Master Password?
Has the option to select ‘never’ for requiring a master password (if Face ID is active) been removed on iOS for iPhones? Three weeks ago it was there, and now the option is missing. Oddly and fortuna...
Hi Folks! Following up here with two notes.
1. Appreciate how thorough 1Password's release notes are 👍🏽, and
2. 1Password just added the equivalent of 'never' to the Windows version. 👍🏽👍🏽
But certainly this begs the question about why 1Password removed the 'never' option. I would note that the TMP biometric feature has been requested for a long time, and their implementation is well done and the right move. Now, unless there's some secret time-out (which wouldn't be very user-friendly, so I assume there isn't), you can sign-in, post-restart or post-shutdown, with biometrics (Windows Hello), without the need to input the master password.
I've been using this since it came out this week and it works exactly as it used to on iOS.
Soooo... can we just have the 'never' option back? It's actually been quite a pain (less secure and holistically unnecessary) to have to input the password on a phone incessantly. It's exceptionally odd to claim there were reasons for removing 'Never' on iOS, and then turn around and implement 'never' on the PC.
