Hello pathfinder76! 👋

1Password may require your password in certain situations such as when the time that you've specified for the "Require Password" feature has run out, or if biometric unlock has for some reason expired. The account password that you're asked to put into the app is the secret that is required to decrypt your data.

For you to be able to use a different temporary password to unlock 1Password would require that 1Password store your actual account password somewhere on your PC which wouldn't be secure.

That being said, I've passed along your suggestion to the product team so that they can see if this is something that we can build or improve upon for the future. Thank you for the feedback. 🙂
