3 years agoIs it all possible to truly need 2FA on every sign-on on mobile?
I have 2FA enabled for my account. I know that 2FA is only used to protect transport of the vault from cloud<>device, that's fine. What I want is to actually NEED 2fa to access any vault data on my m...

3 years agoHi 1P_Timothy , thanks for responding!
Oh.. there is the logout option, that's well hidden! :) I did look for one, but only found the 'lock' option. Good to know what I want can be achieved, just a bit of a hassle to get there. Moving the logout option to the main account dropdown (the one you get when you click the face icon right-top) would help, but might confuse or hinder other users.
My use-case to have an 'always remove downloaded vault on lock' would be that I want 1Password on my mobile once locked to (truly) require two factors to access the vault. One being the 2FA (hardware yubikey in my case, yes I have two; -) and one being the passphrase. I suppose I was expecting 'lock' to do a 'logout'.
I use 1P primarily on my pc at home. On that system I'm fine with leaving the downloaded vault and thus not requiring 2FA (in lastpass terms that system was 'trusted' forever). Given my usage pattern I wouldn't want 2FA asking everytime I use 1P on pc :)
As I use 1P not a lot on mobile I want it to be as much locked/logged out when I don't use it. I sort of expect to lose my phone at some point. Which is also why I'm fine with entering 2FA/yubikey every time I need to use 1P on my mobile, because that's rare for me.
My banking app asks if I want to truly logout when I use 'back' to get out of that app. That would work well for me with 1P on mobile, but wouldn't work on iPhone.
