TouchID requires password too often

LarryMcJ

Thank you for the update, I'm happy that things are working for you now. If the issue does return then please let us know.

The change log in macOS v8.10.7 (81007041) says this has been resolved, and so far it's working fine. Crossing my fingers it's fixed. Thanks! 🙂

1P_Dave I'm confused as to why you keep acting like this is unexpected behavior. I'm not prompted every time I unlock my screen, but I'm prompted at least twice a day on every single one of my macs. And so is everyone in my family, and everyone else I know. Whatever logic is being used for this seems to be confusing "days" with "minutes"

It is far, far too constant of behavior.

I'm sorry that you're still seeing the issue. I see from a previous post that you have "Require password" set to "Every 2 weeks" but are prompted for your account password whenever you unlock your screen. Please reproduce the issue one more time, note the exact time when you are asked for your account password, and then generate a diagnostics report:

I'm sorry for missing your posts and for the delayed response. Please let me know if you're still running into this issue when using version 8.10.3: How to keep 1Password up to date

Months later, I'm still experiencing this. And as previously mentioned by me and others, if I use my MacBook Air, everything works fine. Using the Apple Magic Keyboard with TouchID and an Apple Studio Display, this continues to fail. For me, it's working about 50% of the time. If it's not going to be fixed, could you let me know. Thanks.

I also have this issue, It's supposed to require typing my password every 14 days, but after Ventura 13.2 upgrade I have to do it every time my screen has been locked :-(

For the benefit of 1Password folks who are currently checking on this for me, I’ll add to this. I, also, have no issues if I’m using only my M2 MBA, but that’s rarely the case. I use an Apple Magic Keyboard with TouchID and an Apple Studio Display. 1Password needs to work with this configuration.

Ok, after trying out Roboform (which im going to move over two after all these years) I can see what's going on with 1password (at least for me).
If I use my MacBook's built in keyboard and not an external keyboard, i get the option for fingerprint come up every time. If I use my Logitech keyboard I don’t get this. Now the makes sense as it doesn't have Touch ID. The issue now is that Touch ID is turned off even if I go back to my Macbook keyboard. I have to enter a password to unlock it and make sure I never use my Logitech keyboard. This is a silly situation an don’t one I can work with.

I tried the same thing out with Roboform and this remembers that I have Touch ID if Im using that keyboard, and disables Touch ID if I'm using my Logitech. I can go back and forward without it getting messed up.
So if this is normal, and it seems it is not going to change, im out. Roboform is cheaper anyway, with less hassle as I also don't have to click on the Touch ID icon first. If it sees I have Touch ID that's the default log in system.
