Is there any way to keep the app up or store the password? I am having to key in the Main Password 50 times a day. Basically every time I need a login password. Using Android 12.

4 years agoHello Phrede thanks for reaching out to us! There are a few options to change if you find you're entering your account password frequently:
1. If available on your device, you can set Biometric unlock on from Settings > Security. With Biometric unlock on, you can use your fingerprint in place of your account password in most situations.
2. You can set a PIN and turn Lock on exit on from Settings > Security. With these settings you can unlock 1Password with your account password and leave it running in the background. As long as 1Password is not closed you can use your PIN to open the app or Autofill prompts.
3. Turn Lock on exit off and select a time period for Automatically lock from Settings > Security. With these settings you can unlock 1Password with your account password and leave it running in the background. As long as 1Password is not closed you can open the app and Autofill prompts without your account password until the auto lock period ends.
With Autofill, a good first step is to reset your Autofill settings. Close the app or browser where you want to fill. Unlock 1Password, tap Settings > Autofill, turn Autofill and Accessibility off and then on again.
