On the beta Mac version 8.5.0, there is no way to disable "Master Password required to be entered every 2 weeks". Could you give me a way to do that? 1Password Version: 8.5.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Mac OS 12.1 Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=2%20weeks

don't want you to be in a position where you've ever forgotten your account password… help ensure you have your Master Password memorized… Oh my, such this social engineering again… Could you stop beeing so overprotective and allow your users a free will including freedom to fail? This [profanity removed by moderator; this is a family friendly forum] makes me only hating 1Pwd more and more every time I'm forced to type my master password every other day. Mostly on my iPad when I really hurry to login somewhere. My comp never leaves my house and my security is only my problem, not yours. It's fine if you give me tools to make my life more secure – that's great, I'll really appreciate that and I'm willing to pay for it. But in the moment you start to force me using them it's just annoying. And 1Password is sooooooo annoying from this perspective. All the automatic logouts from my browser and from my tablet are the only reason I started to think about 1Password replacement. Do you really believe you do this for our better good? PLEASE, stop thinking your users are idiots you must care for.

As a service you trust with securing your passwords and other sensitive data, we take your security seriously and are partially responsible for it. I didn't have to trust 1password this much until now that I am forced to use the cloud service. Since the very beginning 1password had made it very clear that the user was the only one that's solely responsible for securing the vault, master password and secret key because the data is encrypted/decrypted locally. By requiring your users to enter the password more often, the responsibility structure does not change a tiny bit -- it only reduces your support cost because the average Joes will be less likely to forget the password and waste your support resource. What's worse, now you push advanced users to choose less complex passwords so they are easier to type in on smart phones. 1Password has a lot of enterprise customers now, and you surely can understand that different businesses may have different threat models. My company has our own protocols to deal with forgotten or compromised passwords and it is not up to the vendor to say "No, you can't forget your password or terrible things will happen to you". In version 7, the "Never" option is hidden deeply in an advanced setting screen, why is that not enough? Why is "2 weeks" an ok threashold for every single user?

Um, VERY flawed thinking. I have multiple vaults, I have complex master passwords. Of course I don't remember them, but I have them available in case of an emergency, new install, etc. But now you are forcing me to put them on paper in front of the computer because I can't get to them any other way (they are stored, but not conveniently depending on where I am) once you lock me out.

I'm confused. When you set up 1P8 an Emergency kit is created which you are advised to print out and safeguard. On the page is an entry for your Master Password. The entry must be hand written unless you have a pdf reader that allows you to create text fields. That is 1P making sure you are safe, all this other stuff for making you not forget your password by forcing you to enter it every now and again is 1P in Nanny State mode.

On an iPhone or iPad, you can set it so that the master password is never needed

Hi folks,

I think the ideal would be for this to be a two week timer, reset any time you type your account password on any device. There are some technical hurdles to implementing that, but they may be surmountable. The point is to help ensure you have your Master Password memorized, not to punish you for using a device with a tiny virtual keyboard. 😆I'm not in a position to make any promises but this is a pain point we're aware of, especially for folks who use 1Password across a lot of different devices (such as ourselves!!).

but will be super annoying on iOS/iPadOS.

It's already this way on iOS and has been for a while--if you restart the phone, or every two weeks you have to login again.

It's a bit annoying on macOS, but will be super annoying on iOS/iPadOS.

Please don't do it there!

I'm afraid people will start using less secure master passwords because of how you handle this...

Hey chilston:

Great question! The short version is we don't want you to be in a position where you've ever forgotten your account password, so requiring it every few weeks helps ensure that you remember it.

Just as an FYI, I've moved your thread to our beta section! :smile:
