2 week relogin is excessive

Please, put the 2-week required login into user's control. I have a complex password, stored in 1Password, of course. But having to re-login every two weeks is a big problem. I have to put this password on a Post-It note on my desk so that I can remember it when required, every two weeks. Incredibly stupid.

At minimum, make a setting for at what interval re-login is required. Give options of 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks or NEVER.

    That "Require password" setting will only appear after you've set up another method of unlocking 1Password. On a Mac, you can use Touch ID on your keyboard or a nearby Apple Watch to unlock:

    The Security tab will then show you that alternative unlock option, as well as the "Require password" setting, like this:

    Hope that helps! Let me know if you need help with setting those up or anything else. :)

    In 1Password 8.9.12 where is this setting to stop asking for login password so frequently. Here is screen shot:

    The Never and Every 30 days options were added at the end of August. I'm happy that Grey was able to help. šŸ™‚

    Well, I missed that. My understanding is that was there for the initial release of this version. I probably am wrong.

    I changed to Never.

    Hey there rmschne

    You can choose either 2 weeks, 30 days or Never for requiring your account password when you have Face ID or Touch ID turned on. Here's what to do:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password.
    2. Tap the account and collection chooser (the icon in the top-left corner) and choose Settings...
    3. Tap Security, then change "Require password" to your preference.

    You might still need to enter your account password when Face ID or Touch ID fail, or if you reset them, but the "Require password" setting should do what you're asking about. Give that a try and let me know how you get on. I'll be here if you need further help. :)
