1 Password keeps changing my security setting from NEVER ask for a Password to EVERY 30 DAYS

You can configure how often 1Password locks by following this guide:

• How to set 1Password to lock automatically

If you've already tried this then can you tell me what your settings currently are and how often 1Password is locking on your Mac? 🙂

I'm sorry that the "Require Password" setting is changing after a restart. That definitely doesn't sound right and I'd like to investigate further. Please do the following:

1. Change the "Require Password" setting to 30 Days.
2. Change the "Require Password" setting to "Never" and note the time.
3. Restart your Mac.
4. Check the "Require Password" setting and make sure that it's been changed. Note the time and the value that it was changed to.

I'd then like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

Sending Diagnostics Reports (Mac)

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com.

With your email please include:

• A link to this thread: https://1password.community/discussion/135438/1-password-keeps-changing-my-security-setting-from-never-ask-for-a-password-to-every-30-days
• Your forum username: Dub
• The times and notes from steps 1-3 above.
• Please do not post your diagnostic report to the forum. This is for your privacy and security.

The report will be in zip format. Please send the entire file.

You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number. Please post that number here. Thanks very much!

I feel your pain. I have no idea what the logic is behind 1PW prompts for passwords. The only thing I know for sure is, they happen way too often, especially on the Mac. iOS feels less frequent.

P.S. I have tried all the different possibilities with 1Password opening on log in, not opening on log in, quitting 1Password before turning the computer off, leaving 1 Password running when turning the computer off and none of these things make any difference..
