Why does 1Password sometimes ask for my Master Password and not accept Touch ID

@annabelled Absolutely, you should memorize your master password—that's the "one password" in "1Password"! 😁 I just changed my master password and I intentionally set it to ask me more frequently to help me memorize it. It's also a good idea to write it down and store it in a safe place at home in case you forget.

@ag_ana will have a more official explanation but my understanding is the master password is the "real" password—it is required to decrypt the stored passwords, and you'll need it to access your vaults on your phone, a new device, etc. Touch ID is just a convenient shortcut to bypass the password once you've already entered it into your Mac or iPhone.
