1Password forces users to enter the master password at least every 2 weeks, super annoying and insecure. Eg my master password is super hard to enter, even more on smartphones, so I’m considering moving to a less secure one to avoid the PITA. All this technical innovation with Touch Id is great but then companies keep reverting to old annoying approaches when facing innovation…
- Sebb767 4y agoI can tell you from harsh experience that having to enter your password after a few months and struggling to remember it is strictly the worse option. It might be a PITA, but it definitely makes sense to refresh the memory once in a while.
- Saint_Genet 4y agoThat's why you write down your important master passwords.
- yosito 4y agoUnless your threat model includes someone breaking into your locked filing cabinet and stealing the post it note with your master password on it. There are some passwords that I don't write down anywhere.
- obert 4y agoI type a password to unlock my device, so I’d like having the option to use just touch Id in this case for 1Password
- nicoburns 4y agoDoes your password contain a bunch of special characters? Consider making your password consist of entirely plain english words (perhaps with a few numbers / symbols but not many) but just making it longer. That'll be just as secure and much easier to type.
- Jaruzel 4y agoShameless plug of my (silly) password generator that creates those types of password: Demo: http://www.jaruzel.com/apps/quickpass/ http://www.jaruzel.com/apps/quickpass/ Source: https://github.com/MattOwenGB/QuickPass https://github.com/MattOwenGB/QuickPass
