1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?
I would agree that the default behaviour is a great default for most people, however it feels like a big regression to me that the advanced setting to "Require master password" (and the possibility to set it to "After device reboot" or "Never") seems to be removed.
As an advanced user I have (a few) strategies to make sure I never forget my 1password credentials, and have made an informed decision to rely on the face id for my phone security as part of that set of strategies.
I would very much like to possibility to keep having the great user experience I've enjoyed with 1Password since biometric authentication was added to the phones, going back to fumbling with passwords - always at the most inconvenient time - is not something I'm looking forward to.
If you intend to ship 1password v8 with this regression I would hope you investigated other ways to make the user experience better, for an example entering the password on one of my devices could bump the timer on all other devices. Though I suspect just allowing me to store the password indefinitely in the iOS Keychain is much simpler to implement and less error-prone.
