1Password 8: account password required every 2 weeks?

I’ve just registered to add my +1 to say I too don’t like being forced to enter my master password every two weeks. The latest 1Password update now regularly prompts you to swap to v8, but as I set it up on my phone and saw the requirement for entering MP every two weeks, I immediately searched on here hoping there was a workaround, but alas there isn’t.

Why does 1Password think that advanced biometrics such as FaceID isn’t a secure enough way to unlock the app for longer than 2 weeks? I can pay for £100’s worth of goods using FaceID on my phone which is trusted by banks as a secure and reliable authentication method. My bank account app only ever uses FaceID. Why should I instead have to enter my long and complex MP every two weeks?

My wife and kids all have their own Vault, but they aren’t regular desktop users, so the idea to prioritise desktop password entry won’t work for them. They only use 1Password infrequently (at most once every 1-3 weeks), so they’re going to have to enter their MP every time they use it, which makes it impractical to use. I store their MP in my vault which is of course a complex pass that they don’t want or need to remember. I subscribed to the family tier because the kids would keep asking me for site passwords that I had in my vault, so I set up shared vaults so they could easily access those passwords. However with 1Password 8 they will just nag me again, but this time for the MP due to being forced to type it in every two weeks…

I’m sorry but as a 1Password customer for over 10 years, and a current Family subscriber, I’m going to have to take a serious look at LastPass based on their more user friendly authentication method screenshot shown above. I will definitely stop my family subscription because my use case for it is now pointless.

Thanks a bunch 1Password for thinking you know best…
