3 years agoMaster password required far too often
I find I need to use the master password way too often, perhaps every week, even when the machine hasn't restarted. Anyone know how to reduce it? If I need to carry the password with me constantly it defeats the whole purpose of 1password.

Hello @GSi! 👋
You can set 1Password for Mac to only require your account password once every 2 weeks by following these steps:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Click on 1Password 7 next to the  in the menu bar.
- Click on Preferences.
- Click on Security.
- Set "Require Master Password every" to 2 Weeks.
Let me know if that helps. 😊
