PLEASE let me have 1Password not prompt for master passwords

Hi n9yty,

Thanks for your feedback on the topic, I can absolutely understand wanting more control over how you use 1Password. I've shared your thoughts in the internal discussion Jack mentioned, and appreciate your insight about the end-user's responsibility to maintain access to their account.

Your reaction to the suggestion of reusing passwords is also understandable and you're correct that it isn't our usual advice. To be clear, we do not recommend reusing passwords anywhere else and acknowledge that this instance is an exception to what we typically suggest. That said, 1Password handles passwords differently than most services. Here's a quote from one of our founders while discussing the topic in another thread:

Using the same password everywhere seems to be go against the premise of 1Password - always use unique passwords. However, in this case, it is completely safe and we recommend it. Most of the websites either store your password or a hash of it.

1Password doesn't do that. When you type the password, it is combined with the Secret Key and then processed through the derivation function to create both encryption and authentication keys. This is a one-way operation, there is no way to obtain your account password from the authentication key.

The password never leaves you device. You can use the same account password everywhere and be 100% sure that it is safe.

You can also find a more contextual and technical explanation in the same thread: Two accounts - now needs two different passwords every time you login? — 1Password Support Community

I hope these resources will help make sense of this feature, rest assured that your privacy and security are always our top priority. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for sharing your feedback.
