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...
One of the nice use cases that was made possible with "Never require Authentication" was exactly the kind of secure estate planning that people have been asking for:
-Use a 'spare' iPhone with 1pw configured on your account with 'Never'.
-Create a device passcode that you share with your digital estate executor
-update all passwords and put the phone in a safe or give to attorney. They have physical posession but not digital possession.
Upon propoer authorization, the attorney can give your phone as per your wishes, who unlocks the phone, and then has access to all your passwords since it was set to 'Never'.
If you keep your 1pw secret key and master password in this vault, that is all they need to access your account, You only ned to sync if you change your master password. Or, if you have a family subscription, you use one of the members' vaults to store your 1pw details, no need to change their pw and sync regularly.
Oh well...been a vocal propoent of 1pw for many years, but the "we know best" attitude sure is wearing thin.
