I submitted this feedback via the Play Store, but maybe that goes to /dev/null: I'm begging you, please don't really ship 1P8 with that
I appreciate that there are people who enjoy that, but I am ...

4 years ago@mdaniel, markbyrn thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
The intent with the two week period is to help ensure users do not lock themselves out of 1Password. With Biometric unlock set to never in 1Password 7 for Android, it's quite possible to go for extended periods without using your account password. While there is a convenience factor, the other side of this means that if a phone is damaged or replaced a user might find themselves forgetting their password and locked out of their data.
I can definitely understand that for some, convenience might outweigh the scenario I described above. While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I would be happy to share your feedback with the team. I know there is ongoing conversation on these topics and additional input is always appreciated!
