Disable Password Reauthentication After 2 Weeks in 1Password 8
Hello,
On 1Password 7 I remember there being an option to disable reauthentication permanently, this allowed me to use Face ID to authenticate for many months and ensure that I’m not prompted to t...
It seems there is some pushback to this design decision in 1Password 8, not just here but in a couple other posts and on Reddit as well.
I understand the reasoning falls in the realm of helping users remember their password to ensure they are not locked out, though realistically there is only so much you can do to prevent people from shooting them selves in the foot.
The crowd of people that don’t plan ahead with saving their master password and secret key will always be at risk of locking themselves out, I hope those of us that do have a plan and may even practice our Master passwords by ourselves do not have to be forced to do so by the software.
Furthermore, bringing back the “Never” authentication option may be the simplest path forward rather than something a lot fancier like a global counter.
Please convey these dissatisfactions internally though any ticketing procedures you may have.
