1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?
As skatch mentioned, Signal's approach could be an option, but then again, Signal also lets you disable the reminders or disable the PIN code feature entirely. Sure it's "just a messaging app" and might not be as important as loosing access to your password manager, but the key thing here is that they are providing the option for the users to configure the app as they want, something that 1Password did in version 7 as well.
And as skatch also mentioned, the password prompt have a tendency to pop when you least need it, like when you're in a hurry. In 1Password 7 I have it configured to only ask for the password after a reboot since it's the closest you get to "never". But I've also chosen that option since then I'm in control of when it happens, because the only time I reboot is when installing an iOS update, which I do as soon as possible but only when it's convenient for me.
I'd like to repeat what I wrote in my previous comment; considering that you now can configure 1Password on Windows to never ask for the password again by using the TPM feature, It would seem logical that you at least add the same setting and options in 1Password 8 for iOS as they were in 1Password 7. I don't mind if you hide the setting somewhere in a sub menu deep in the bowels of settings, as long as the setting is there for those who want it. You could even add a prompt when you configure the setting, similar to when you perform a factory reset of the phone, where it asks for confirmation 1-2 times, with a clear message/warning about how crucial it is to remember the master password and that you can't provide support if you manage to lock yourself out.
