Feature request: TouchID and PIN code combination for unlocking

Hi, I am very interested in purchasing 1Password and value the opportunity of using TouchID instead of a preferably long and complex master password. However, allowing access to passwords using TouchID alone seems extremely insecure. Could you please add a feature that allows access by i.e. combining TouchID and a four digit PIN code?

    Hi @albornes! Welcome to the forum!

    Touch ID is not what protects your data, your Master Password is what protects your data. From our Touch ID security article:

    Apple hasn’t designed Touch ID as a replacement for your device passcode. In the same way, using Touch ID in 1Password doesn’t replace your Master Password or undermine the security of 1Password. Your data is encrypted with your Master Password, and that remains true even with Touch ID enabled.
