The general point of this is to ensure that you haven't forgotten your account password. Face ID or Touch ID is not a 1:1 replacement for your account password, and indeed you may run into a situation where Face ID or Touch ID is disabled for one reason or another. Without memorizing your account password, at that point you would be locked out of your 1Password account. My colleague Ben has spoken a bit about what we would love as the ideal for this:
I think the ideal would be for this to be a two week timer, reset any time you type your account password on any device. There are some technical hurdles to implementing that, but they may be surmountable. The point is to help ensure you have your Master Password memorized, not to punish you for using a device with a tiny virtual keyboard. 😆I'm not in a position to make any promises but this is a pain point we're aware of, especially for folks who use 1Password across a lot of different devices (such as ourselves!!).
With all that said however, if this is an absolute dealbreaker for you, stay safe out there with whatever password manager you do decide to go with!
