Choose order of authentication options
I use 1P8 for macOS. I use the main app, the Safari browser extension, the op CLI tool v2, and the SSH functionality. I get asked to authenticate a lot.
I have my password, I have the modal button that says "authorize access", I have an Apple Watch, and I have a Touch ID-enabled Mac keyboard. I also have a YubiKey configured for PAM, but I don't think 1Password uses/recognizes that.
My preference is for least friction by default, which means:
- Touch ID
- “Authorize Access” modal button
- Apple Watch
- Manually typing my password like a neanderthal
The 1Password suite of tools doesn't appear to share my order preference. It tends to put my Apple Watch first (Touch ID is grayed-out in the preferences). When that fails (see this post), I take it off my wrist and get the click-button prompt instead (more convenient).
It's rare when I have to type my password manually, but my daughter (for example) has a Windows laptop and that's the norm for her.
This is a request to choose my preferred order of authentication devices/approaches, when each one is available.
