Suggestion Option to prompt for password changes?

kaoticsnow

I'd like to see a feature (assuming I have simply overlooked it if it already exists) to have 1Password Prompt you when passwords reach a cretin age. As its good practice to change passwords often.

As a workaround right now, can you set iCal to remind you to do that once every month? It's much more general and open to everything instead of a simple reminder from 1Password. In fact with iCal, you can sync it to Google Calendar, iPhone or any other mobile devices or get SMS/email notification as well.



The limitation of course is that iCal has no way of knowing each password has reach a month since all your passwords were created at any given time, not on same day of course.



There's feature request somewhere for a deeper analysis tool for 1password, not just calendar but also a better way to suggest stronger password strength for many logins that may have same password, similarity checking (like password1/password2 shouldn't be used as it makes it easy for hackers to guess from one password to another password).

Hi kaoticsnow,



First of all welcome to the forums! That's certainly a nice feature idea, I think a lot of people don't realise that changing your passwords often is part of a good security regime so adding something like this to 1Password could be beneficial.



With that said, I know we want to keep 1Password as simple as possible, and this may be something certain users would find annoying so it would more than likely need to be an option, maybe on a per-password basis. I'll pass this along to the developers, but I can't promise if and when we'd be able to implement something like this into 1Password.



Thanks again for the feedback, we really appreciate it!

Perfect! I'd actually want it to be an option, hell even make it disabled by default, also cretin passwords don't really ever need to be changed (MySQL Passwords that are only accessed by applications and protected by firewalls)

I think I'd agree with that :-) Keep an eye on the blog over at [url]http://blog.agile.ws[/url] - we tend to announce new features there first, so if it does come you'll hear about it on the blog first.
