Biometric time out
Why do I now need to enter my password every 2 weeks? My phone is as secure as it's going to get (and requires biometric for all use). Meanwhile typing the password once every 2 weeks is a royal pain...
Yes, if I have to be forced to type it, make me type it on my computer. I can type 120wpm on my PC, and my master password reflects that. I can type 20wpm on my phone at best. With 1P7, this wasn't an issue, but this is SUPER annoying on 1P8 for android.
Also, if this is such a concern, why didn't you include a 2 week timeout on 1P8 for Windows? I have to use my password on Windows if my TPM invalids it's state, but that happens very rarely now (which is fantastic! now that it works properly)
Anything more than once per month on my computer and never on my phone is too much IMHO. Maybe you can take an approach similar to what Signal does with the pincode. Once per week for the first few weeks. Then once every 2 weeks, then once every month, and then once every 6 weeks forever after. Do this based on the age of the account/master password.
Edit: Apparently, the 2 week timeout does exist on Windows. I feel like I notice the prompt less often than that, and it was only when the TPM state was invalidated (I guess that's issue has been fixed completely). Either way, please remove the timeout on my phone!
