Require password more frequently

moose

In 1Password 8 for Mac (and iOS), the shortest frequency you can require for the master password is every 2 weeks.

Would it be possible to add some more options to this? It would be nice if it asked at least once per day.

Hello @moose! 👋

Thank you for the suggestion! While I can't promise anything, I've passed it along to our product team.

In the meantime, you can choose to be always prompted for your account password by disabling Touch ID and Apple Watch unlock. Alternatively, you can change your auto-lock preferences so that Touch ID / Apple Watch unlock are required more often: How to set 1Password to lock automatically

Thanks again for the suggestion. 😊

I want to have an option:
• 2 days
• 1 week

If I enter password rarely I could forget it. So 2-3 days will be great option.

Thanks for the feedback, @sterid! Depending on how you use your device, the auto-lock setting for "lock on sleep, screensaver, or switching users" might be worth exploring. I can understand wanting more control over this though and have added it to our internal tracker on the topic.

Let me know if you have any questions. 👍🏻

I second this feature request. When I'm learning a new (strong) master password, it takes a long while to get it permanently memorized. Right now the only option is the very big stick of completely disabling touch id, which is annoying and a hassle. (but has to be done.) It would be so helpful if I could set this to once a day, then once a week, then 2 weeks, etc. as I get better with it. My password is loooooong, as it should be, and will require regular practice.

Thanks!

Hi @kirtfitzpatrick,

Thanks for your feedback and sharing your unique use case. I commend your commitment to a stronger account password and am glad to hear you're taking steps to make sure you memorize it. I can see how this feature would help that process and will share this with the rest of the team.

If you haven't already, remember to update your Emergency Kit! 😊
