1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?

The requirement to enter your password MANUALLY every 14 days when you have biometric turned on is ridiculous! My wife installed and then deleted v8 because of this. I installed it a while back and tried to use it (don't like the UI nor UX). Then it forced me to manually enter my password so I ONLY use v7. Glad to hear there is an option now as we were researching other password managers due to this issue.

just found this for the same reason as most everyone else here. i understand the merit on both sides of the debate. while i'm not entirely confident with going "never" across the board, im glad to see it has returned as an option. the synching timer across devices things still in the works? that would be a pretty solid/reasonable middle ground imo.

@Reciprocity31 the option to never ask for the password is available since about a month ago. You should be able to find it under Settings > Security > Require password if your apps are up to date.

Version 7 was great cause it was fast and efficient. I could create an item or fill in a login or retrieve a piece of info quickly. But now in version 8 it feels like a pain to use. Having to enter my password on each device all the time makes it inconvenient and slow. There are a ton of use cases here so I won't add to them but dang, can we not just make everything for the lowest common denominator? Put an advanced setting deep in the Settings section. Make us agree that losing or forgetting master password could lose full access. THEN PUT A MENU IN ALLOWING US TO DETERMINE WHEN and HOW OFTEN WE WANT TO ENTER THE MASTER PASSWORD. I don't need 1Password holding my hand making sure I remember my master password. I am an adult and not only remember it but also have it stored in other places both digitally and non-digital. Putting up these walls on Mac, iOS, iPadOS etc makes me not want to use the product.

Thank you for listening to the community @agilebits!

How do your forget your literal one and only password? My goodness. I honestly just don't get it 😅

By the way, thanks to the 1Password team for listening to the community and adding this an option. The forced re-entry was really obnoxious and it did make me quite upset, though my reaction at the time was a bit disproportionate. Taking away granularity of functionality is always going to be upsetting. You'll probably want to think twice before doing that again. But ya, that's about it. See ya

I accidentally discovered that you added the option "Never" now...

Thank you! ❤️

I’d like to add a vote for giving more frequent options in the Require Password setting. I always set it to every 24 hours so that I wouldn’t forget my password — but now the only two choices are 2 weeks and 30 days, which is way too infrequent and I’m definitely going to forget my password.

@jericho808 You should be able to find the version 7 under your purchased apps and downgrade that way if you're choosing to. Though remember 1PW is security software, I wouldn't recommend you go back to an old version of 1PW.

Is there a way to downgrade back to version 7? The more I use version 8, the less I want to use 1password. I appreciate 1passwords’ desire to ensure security, but I don’t need or want this level of handholding on my ipad.
