Disable Password Reauthentication After 2 Weeks in 1Password 8

1P_Ben Jack_P_1P

I’ve been using 1Password for many years and most of the time I have no problem remembering my 1Password password but sometimes my mind just blanks on me. I’ve had it happen multiple times when I couldn’t for the life of me remember my 1Password password when asked for it. Luckily I can usually grab another device with Touch ID and access 1Password to check my 1Password password (unless Touch ID fails three times, in which case I have to dig out my emergency kit, which is really annoying but has only happened once so far). The thought that the other device might then also require me to enter my 1Password password, just because it does so every two weeks, kind of scares me. This also defeats the main reason for me to use 1Password, which is that I can always access my passwords somewhat easily.

Also this would probably mean I have to type in my password almost every time I use 1Password on my phone as I don’t use it that often, which is annoying. One of the other reasons for using 1Password is to not type passwords as typing a password is always super annoying, especially on a phone.

So please reconsider adding a “never” option. Not having this makes 1Password really hard to use for me.

Side request: Currently you have to enter your password when Touch ID / Face ID fails three times, could you please increase the amount of retries allowed (iOS has five attempts before requiring your passcode, I think eight would be a good amount for 1Password). This limit has been the main cause requiring me to enter my 1Password password in the past which can be a major inconvenience as described.
