5 years ago1Password always asks for master password when "Require Master Password" is not set to "Never"
Hi,
I'm new to 1Password, coming from KeePass, but wanted a more robust sync solution than managing my password database myself. So far I'm very impressed. 1Password seems to be both very function...

4 years agoHello @RobMendez thanks for your question.
With 1Password for Android, any time the app is closed completely your account password (or biometrics) are required to unlock the app. The app is closed completely when you tap exit, when it is removed from recents and when your device restarts. Additionally, some devices can shut down 1Password in the background, battery savers are usually the culprit.
If you'd like to unlock 1Password for Android as infrequently as possible you can turn Lock on exit off and set Automatically lock to never from Settings > Security. I use this setting arrangement on my testing device and I can unlock 1Password at the beginning of my day without the need to enter my account password through the day.
If your settings match, I suspect 1Password is being closed inadvertently or your device is shutting down 1Password in the background. Removing 1Password from battery optimization may help with this.
