I just don't get the reason you want to force users to type their passwords. When I created an account I was instructed by 1Password that I should make a copy or print the password and store it in a safe place.

I don't want to change my master password to something sort/easy so that I can type it quickly, especially on mobile.

A thief can just see the master password that way, then stole the device and access whatever they want.
