It is the request of PIN again...
I am new from other pw manager, 1pw is really good. I am always using it in Win11 and Chrome Ext. If I don't use the Windows Hello, I have to input the long password of 1pw when unlock, it is more trouble then input the saved individual password.
I had search about the topics which related to PIN, I know 1pw have reason that why don't provide PIN to unlock the.
- The PIN may not able to be stored with secure method.
- User may forgot the long password.
The problem I am facing
1. My family know the Windows Hello PIN
2. My password is really long and I don't want to change it for some reason.
Suggestion.
1. For the browser extension, Allow using PIN to temporary unlock password for autofill only.
2. Browse list, view detail or edit request long password
3. request for the long password every 7 days or 14 days.
or
Use mobile app as MFA.

Hello @penguinson! 👋
Thanks for the suggestion. As you noted, 1Password for Windows does offer PIN unlock through Windows Hello:
You mentioned that your family knows your Windows Hello PIN and it sounds like the easiest solution would be to create a separate Windows user account for you to use where only you know the PIN for that account: Manage user accounts in Windows - Microsoft Support
If you're unable to create a separate Windows user account for you to use then I recommend changing your account password to one that is easier to type in while still remaining secure: How to choose a good 1Password account password
