1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?
+1. Requiring password on mobile devices every two weeks is quite a pain. And yeah, wordlist passwords make things easier, but they're also long, so you have to be super precise on a phone keyboard.
The times when I have to pull up 1Password on my phone are often times where I'm in a rush and juggling other things (think: checkout counter while managing kids).
Some alternatives I'd love for the team to consider:
* As suggested by XIII, don't require typing master password if you use 1pwd on another platform where you have to type it occasionally anyway (assuming 1password knows what platforms you log in with)
* Take the approach Signal uses with their iOS app: they don't block you from using the app, but they prompt you like this occasionally (frequently at first, but at progressively longer intervals each time you enter it). You could do this anytime someone changes their master password:
* Or just go back to letting users self-select to only type their master password never/after device restart.
