Hello AgileBurger! 👋

I'm sorry for the frustration, this is something that a lot of other users also wrote in about and our team added an option some time ago to give you the ability to decide how often you're prompted for your account password. You can find this option for 1Password on iOS by using these steps:

  1. Open and unlock the 1Password for iOS app.
  2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
  3. Tap Security.
  4. Set "Require password" to the desired value. You can even choose "Never" if you wish but make sure that you don't forget your account password since you'll still need it if Face ID expires or you want to use 1Password on another device.

Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
