1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?
Hello @ag_kevin and other 1Password team members,
I've registered an account just to ask you to reconsider this decision.
I think I won't add any new arguments to this discussion. I just want to say that it wasn't easy to convince my mother who is not a tech savvy person to start using a password manager. I had to explain why it's important and teach her how to use it on her devices. She and other members of my family, including me, are very happy with 1Password in general. The only complaint we have is regarding re-entering the master password. The "never ask" option on mobile devices is a huge benefit. I made sure we all have very strong master passwords and that we have them safely backed up. Please don't remove this option from mobile and add it on all other supported platforms such as MacOS.
If you force us to re-enter the password every 2 weeks, users will have 2 options: either use a short, weak master password in order to be able to quickly type it and be productive, or switch to another password manager. In my specific case, I'll probably give up and migrate us all to some other password manager which makes me sad because I really like 1Password.
I have an idea for you - make this option hidden, so that only advanced/pro users will be able to find/unlock it. Android OS enables developer options when you go to settings and tap 7 times on "Build number". You can do a similar trick and hide that option by default. Again - please don't remove this option, and add it on all other supported platforms.
