So far I’m liking the slow transition from 1Password to macOS / iOS’ built in password manager, but the one request I have is to be able to set a “don’t ask for my password again for 5 minutes” option. Every time I even think about closing the Password app, it asks me for my password again.

There’s a million more important things that need to be dealt with, but if someone could tell the sitting US President to stop being a petty man baby and referring to our Canadian Prime Minister as governor, when he knows full well what the title is, I’d really appreciate it.
