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...

Came to find if this issue had been reported. A two week timer on my phone that disables biometrics may as well be simply removing biometrics. I seldom need 1P on my phone, but every time I do I need it instantly and without delay. I consider this to be sufficient friction to simply stop using a third party password manager despite the risks.
Honestly at my age I can barely see my phone well enough to type a sentence, I certainly can't type my 1P master password in anything approaching a reasonable timeframe on a telephone keyboard. The difference between literally looking at my phone and two or three minutes of trial and error trying to type a 20+ character password is enormous. If the timeout isn't made optional then there simply isn't any utility in keeping my subscription as it more or less renders the mobile app and anything that I have to login into (such as my banking app which also times me out of biometrics) completely inaccessible to me.
