1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?
I have a long passphrase for my 1password account. Typing it is ok on my mac, a pain on iOS.
The biggest pain, though is being asked to do this at inconvenient times. Having awareness between mac and iOS would be great and, hopefully all but eliminate the need to type in on the phone. It doesn’t, however, stop me being asked at inconvenient times (especially if someone could see my typing). Could 1Password allow skipping verification for a while?
For example:
- two weeks after last verification a banner shows in 1pw asking me to verify. I can do it at my convenience. After, say, another 2 weeks if I haven’t verified, then I am forced to as currently.
- And/or use notifications to prompt - particularly for people who rarely open the main app.
I’d also be interested to know why two weeks was chosen. Is there evidence that if the period is longer a significantly higher number of people forget their master password?
