4 years agoPIN Code is removed in security settings
I use a long complex password for my 1Password app. For daily access I have use the pin code to work faster. After the last update this setting is gone and I have to retype my complex one all the time.
I want to have that function back.
1Password Version: 8.8.0
Extension Version: 80800132

And for those with disabilities who are unable to use biometric? Please bring back the option for PIN

Hi @0100110, we track feedback and feature requests from all sources very carefully. Once a decision has been made to add a new option or feature, our development and QA teams really are impressively fast to make it available to everyone.

I guess people should use social network to request the PIN option to unlock. I'm impressed to see how fast you have released a new version with more options for the password requirement every 2 weeks

Hello @dbars, thanks for including this use case and sharing your feedback. It has been noted along with your +1.

Another +1 on the pin unlock.
I will not use biometric unlocks as I can be compelled to unlock my phone through them and I have a complex master password. Allowing pin unlock for quick autofill is preferable to the master password.
I will likely end up needing to make a less complex (and therefore, less secure) master password without this PIN unlock or stop using this service and move back to lastpass.

Thanks @tezvienna, +1 added.

+1 for pin. I have a Xiaomi Tab 5 without fingerprint, face unlock does not work with 1password. So I have to enter the long password very often.

Hello @JRok77 and @steberk thanks for sharing your feedback. I've added your +1s.
Steberk, thanks for including those additional points. I'm sorry to hear the lack of PIN unlock has been a deal breaker for you upgrading to 1Password 8.

Hi, please add +1 for PIN unlock.
I'll never use biometrics for the most important database of my life. Biometrics can be easily forced by bad guys without my assistance and without my ability to prevent it.
So I stay with the previous version until my subscription expires or the update will be forced.
Then I check the v8 again and decide to extend the subscription or find a more secure product. Biometrics are unsafe and will always unsafe for a password safe. This is a deal breaker.
By the way a password safe has to provide plausible deniability in case someone forces the user to reveal the password. (Similar to the hidden volume of the Veracrypt disk encryption)
