Hello @GSi! 👋

You can set 1Password for Mac to only require your account password once every 2 weeks by following these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password 7 next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on Preferences.
  4. Click on Security.
  5. Set "Require Master Password every" to 2 Weeks.

Let me know if that helps. 😊
