1Password doesn't include a reminder to change your passwords after X amount of time has passed because we don't recommend that practice. Instead we recommend that you change your passwords if one of the following conditions is met:
- The password for a website/account is not a secure and unique password generated by 1Password.
- 1Password's Watchtower sends you a warning that your password for a website/account has been reused or was found in a data breach.
Regular password changes for no other reason but because an amount of time has passed is no longer recommended as a security practice by many cybersecurity experts and organizations such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
That being said, I do understand that certain organizations, accounts, or websites do still expire passwords after a certain amount of time has passed for various reasons and I can see how it would be useful for 1Password to remind you when a password or account is expiring. I've passed along your specific suggestions to the product team. 🙂
