Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?

Same, switching from LastPass to 1Password within the last year.

Question: does it annoy you how often you have to type the Master Password into 1Password? I feel like they really need to enable a "don't prompt on this computer" option. Granted it's less secure, but since the machine I use most is a desktop computer in a secure location, that's a choice I'd like to make for myself. As it is now, I have my Master Password displaying in an always-open text document which is a terrible alternative.

You can configure when 1Password auto-locks and there by requires login again.

It will still requires periodic login, but you can minimize it to 1 time per reboot if you want.

Regarding the android app, then they should be working on a pincode solution.

AH! Thank you so much! I think this may be an option they've added recently. So glad to have that ability now!

I removed the setting that required login if the computer was locked and configured it to be unlocked for 8 hours.
