@Dogmatix The master password requirement is one of the main reasons that storing your passwords in 1Password is more secure than saving them in your browser. However, it doesn't need to be difficult to remember or type.
The copy of your password database on 1Password's servers is additional protected by the Secret Key. So your master password just needs to be strong enough to resist attackers who have access to your device. 16 random characters should be enough or a bit longer if you use a combination of dictionary words to make a passphrase.
