Have to enter master password with every reboot. Any workarounds?

I’m using Windows Hello in conjunction with a fingerprint sensor on my desktop computer. 1password works fine with the fingerprint sensor but you have to log in with the master password after every reboot. I am one of those people who turn off the computer at night so I always have to enter the master password once a day. My password is long so this is annoying. Is there any way around this?

    Hi @Avenger2000:

    Thanks for asking! Currently, 1Password 8 for Windows will require your account password on first launch after boot, then will allow Windows Hello unlock after that, until the app is closed. We're investigating allowing Windows Hello support across reboots on supported devices, but don't have any timelines to share just yet. Keep an eye on the beta releases to be one of the first to try it out!
