Hey @MrOrange! I do understand why you'd want to clear your cache regularly. Unfortunately, when that is done, you would have to indeed sign back in with your Secret Key and Account Password. There's not a way around that.

It would be useful to have your Emergency Kit handy so that you can get to your Secret Key and enter it as needed. Another option is to use a different browser for just logging into 1Password.com.

Lastly, you can download the 1Password app and use it (if you don't already have it). There are many things that you can do effectively via the app, such as editing, organizing, and managing your logins.

I hope this helps a bit.
