Repetitive prompts for 1Password account password on the iPhone

4 years agoWell, obviously, it's not practical to type in my master password every time I want to use the app for auto-fill. I appreciate that your technical article on Face ID is very complete (I I had forgotten the part about how iOS Keychain isn't the same as iCloud keychain); so complete, in fact, that the mention of jailbreaking at the end of the article was enough to give me pause. The article doesn't discuss the degree of obfuscation that is applied to the master password when storing it in the iOS keychain, but I understand that it would take a lot for a hacker to get to that point anyway. Enough that I would hope that I could change my master password on 1Password.com prior to anyone actually being able to access my data.
Concerning the iOS app Security settings, it is definitely confusing for a new user such as myself to set Lock on Exit to "off" and Auto-Lock for "10 Minutes" but still have to fill in the master password for auto-fill even if the 1Password app is still in memory. Perhaps a little clarification in the explanatory text in the Security settings might help?
Thanks for your response. I appreciate your time and patience!
