1 Password 8 question

I downloaded 1 Password 8 this morning. I like it. I have one question, though. By default, 1 Password now offers Windows Hello to open 1 Password. In my case, that means entering my Windows PIN. I don't like that feature. I can see that it's easy to X out of it and use my password, but is there a way to disable Windows Hello so that I'm just presented with my password field?

  • Hey @TDK1044:

    If you'd rather not use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password, open and unlock 1Password, then choose ⋮ > Settings. Choose the Security section, then disable "Unlock using Windows Hello". Let me know how you get on with that!

    Thanks. If I hadn't been in such a rush this morning, I would have poked around with this, but I figured someone here would know.

    I've been using 1Password for over a year and really like it. I'm sorry to be so stupid but I would like to disable Windows Hello for 1Password. For the life of me I cannot find the "Settings" button. I logon to 1Password.com and I can see all my info but not the "Settings". I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

  • Hi @BoomerBob:

    To configure Windows Hello settings, open and unlock 1Password for Windows, not 1Password.com. Choose ⋮ > Settings, Choose the Security section, then disable "Unlock using Windows Hello". Let me know how you get on with that!

    WORKED !! You are a genius ... or maybe I'm just a dummy. Either way, I appreciate your help.
