3 years ago1 Password keeps changing my security setting from NEVER ask for a Password to EVERY 30 DAYS
I use 1 Password on Apple computers with Mac Ventura.My preferences are set to open 1Password with a fingerprint or an Apple Watch and NEVER ask for a password.
But each time I turn my computer off, when I turn it back on, 1Password has changed my preference to ask for the Password to every 30 days and on random occasions to every 2 weeks.
This is SUPER ANNOYING!
Is this a bug in the current software?
Please help!!!!
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.9.8
Extension Version: 2.4.1
OS Version: MacOs 13.0.1
Browser:_ Safari

Thank you for the Support ID. I've located your ticket and I see that my colleague has responded, I recommend continuing the conversation over email so that the team can investigate the iOS issue as well. My colleague will follow-up with you over email as soon as possible. 🙂

In addition, faceID never works on the iOS safari extension (not autofill password, extension itself) so I’m made to retype my password every day, sometimes within multiple minutes of each unlocking in the same safari session. Really frustrating especially with a long master password.
We've recently released an update that should have improved things. Can you please make sure that you're using 1Password 8.9.7 and iOS 16.1 or later:

I’m experiencing this as well, both on macOS and iOS. Setting to never and killing the app from the app switcher on iOS then relaunching it within a few seconds sees the setting switched back to 30 days every time. Similarly, setting the setting on macOS, quitting the app from menu bar, then immediately relaunching it sees the setting go back to 30 days.

Hi Monkey121,
Sorry to hear you're experiencing something similar. Could I confirm if restarting your device changed this setting? Either way, the next time you notice it, you're welcome to send over a diagnostic report so we can investigate further:

Happy to help, @Dub! Looking forward to sharing updates once we have them.
Thanks for testing this! Odd that it behaves a bit differently for you. The next time you notice the setting change, please feel free to generate and send over that diagnostic report. Likewise if you notice any patterns in when this happens. I apologize for any interruption this is causing you and really appreciate you helping us report this!
