5 years agoHello @plindeman , this was a security design decision for 1Password 8. I have put in a request for a change back to the 1Password 7 model on your behalf, but this is something that we've considered, and we think that the current approach clears up a number of issues.
If you're interested in the details, Jeffrey Goldberg (our Principal Security Architect) discusses that here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/608291/#Comment_608291
I hope this approach - "no account is unlocked without its account password" - makes sense. We want to ensure that we're covering all our metaphorical bases in our security implementations, and this is something that our security experts determined needed to change.
However, we absolutely appreciate your point about lock times. I have added your comments here to an existing request for more granular lock options (including longer lock times), and hope to have more for you on that as we go forward with future updates. 👍
