Hello unhappychappy! 👋

I've split your comments into a separate thread to keep the other thread on-topic and to better focus on your specific concerns. 🙂

1Password for Safari requires at least iOS 15 and modern iPhone and iPads do a great job of requiring that users have a passcode or Face ID / Touch ID to unlock the device. If your device is locked then no one can unlock it and use 1Password for Safari without first providing your device's passcode or unlocking the device using Face ID / Touch ID.

The extension by default has "Reauthorize after" set to 1 Day but you can indeed reduce it to 15 minutes if that better fits your personal threat model.

With the recent concerns about the stealing of iOS passcodes, I can certainly understand the desire to set an even shorter timeout period and, while I can't make any promises, I have added your feature request to our internal tracker so our product team can consider it as they are looking into new features to add to future versions of 1Password for iOS.

In the meantime, if you are concerned about your iPhone's passcode being stolen you can set a longer and more secure passcode: Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)
