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...
This force to repeat on mobile feels quite bothersome. I think I fully understand the reasoning behind it but could this be done in a different way?
For example inside the app we could be notified (until done) to repeat the password every two weeks but it would not block accessing the passwords? This way people would use / retype the password but they could choose the time to do it and would not be locked out from 1P suddenly.
For example several times I have needed a password quite fast to buy public transportation tickets to catch the trains (after apps token has been expired). Entering master password in public is not the biggest threat model but it still feels uncomfortable.
All in all I would prefer the old biometric model and would like to see it return as an option if possible. Maybe a warning if enabled or something.
Post is getting bit long, so have a nice day everyone!
