Completely disable auto-lock on iOS
**Please give us an option to completely disable auto-lock feature on iOS. **
My phone already has an auto-lock setup, which locks down the whole device after 30 seconds of inactivity. If an attacker can bypass this setting and get into my home screen, I am already in a very bad shape and nothing can stop this attacker from reading my 1P vault.
So I feel that have an additional lock in 1P is not that necessary, at least not for me.
I have an iPhone X and the Face ID authentication is super slow comparing to my previous experience with Touch ID. The whole process ("open 1P -> loading screen -> prompt Touch ID authentication screen -> finish authentication") just takes too long.
I learned that the default thresholds are picked under the consideration of device activities as well (https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/79886/raise-limit-or-remove-limit-for-auto-lock). So it makes sense to raise this limit on a device with better access control.
We are all consenting adults here and I'd like to completely disable 1P auto-lock as an acceptable trade-off for productivity. We can still leave the default selection as "on" for new users and display some kind of warning when the user attempt to switch if off.

@zzyzxd: Thanks for letting us know this is something you want, but we're not going to do that. We don't offer the ability to keep 1Password unlocked indefinitely on any platform because 1Password is a security app.

I understand that with your particular use case and preferences it may be fine, but we need to consider others as well. And keep in mind that, in your own scenario, if you've already unlocked your phone, someone could just take it from you then and get into 1Password if it is left unlocked at all times. Part of our job is to help people avoid getting into situations like that, where they expect 1Password to protect them but it cannot.

How long? I haven't encountered anyone else having issues with it...and to be fair, I'm not sure that this is a problem 1Password should be trying to solve anyway. I'd be interested to hear more about your experience though, as it does sound different from ours.

You can set the Auto-Lock timer to up to 1 Hour, disable Lock on Exit, and even use a PIN code if you wish. But we're going to stop far short of allowing 1Password's security to be completely disabled.

Let's not go there. You're asking us to allow 1Password's security to be completely disabled. I don't think that's reasonable at all, and technically speaking what you're asking for is for us to simply store the Master Password permanently. I'm sorry I don't have the answer you're looking for, but we need to take into account all 1Password users, not just those who have an iPhone X and are unhappy with Face ID. :blush:
