    Hello dima! 👋

    Thank you for the suggestion! I can see how it would be helpful to be able to "snooze" the account password confirmation if you're not able to type in your account password right at that moment. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request with our Product team to consider adding such as feature. 

    Thank you for helping us make 1Password better!

I definitely support this suggestion! I would just like to add my two cents on this. I understand there could be security concerns from the product team around snoozing a master password re-entry prompt. An alternative that would work for me is the ability to set snoozable "early password prompts" starting N days before the actual expiration. For example, if I have my master password re-entry set to every 14 days with early prompts starting 2 days from that, 1Password would begin to prompt me for my master password at the 12 day mark. If I'm on a crowded train, I could snooze it until later that evening when I'm back at my house. But you'd still have that same maximum 14 day mark where you're forced to re-enter your master password, just like how it is now.

The requirement to enter your account password is primarily meant to be a memory tool to help you remember your account password by requiring that you occasionally retrieve it from your memory and type it in. You can set the requirement to a longer time period or turn it off entirely (if you're using biometric unlock). 

That being said, thanks for the suggestion regarding a snooze feature! I'll pass it along to the team internally.
