Dave,
Thanks for your quick response.
I am aware that the iPhone passcode can be made long and complex, but that seems rather like overkill for most of the stuff on the phone, photos, etc., other than 1Password. So it seems inefficient to go this route just to have a shorter password for 1Password, but an awkwardly long passcode for routine unlocks.
As to making a shorter or easier password for 1Password, I don't think the use of the 32-character Secret Key means that I could prudently change my password to "12345". I assume your point is that my data on your server would still be secure if I changed to "12345" (which, by the way, I don't plan on doing).
For now I suppose I'll continue grumbling about inputting my password on the iPhone app or weighing the risk of evildoers unlocking 1Password with my phone and my face.
In the meantime, it would be great to have the option of revealing the password on the iPhone app, just like it's now possible in the Mac app, so typos could be easily corrected without reentering the whole thing.
