Touch ID - iPhone vs. iPad

I have 1Password on both my iPad and my iPhone. Touch ID works on the iPad in lieu of entering the Master Password whenever I need to use 1Password. However, on my iPhone, I have to enter my Master Password the FIRST time I use 1Password, then it'll let me use Touch ID for subsequent uses of 1Password during the same session. However, if I don't use 1Password for some time, it'll ask for the Master Password again. Is this how it is supposed to work? (i.e., there is a difference between the iPad and iPhone versions.) If not, where is the settings to change my iPhone to use Touch ID in lieu of the Master Password all the time?

1Password Version: 6.4.4
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: iOS9.3.5
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hi @nancyagee

    Thanks for taking the time to write in. It isn't a bad idea to type your Master Password once in a while, so that you remember it. That said the setting you are looking for is in 1Password > Settings > Advanced > Security > Require Master Password.

    I hope that helps!

    Thank you! That's it!

    Since I also use 1Password extensively on my Macs, there is no danger of forgetting my Master Password (until Apple adds Touch ID to their computers!) Of course, I will then add an entry in 1Password listing my Master Password ;)
