Quick Unlock Code only works from the Recents Screen

I have 4.0.0b7 installed on Android 4.4.2 with a quick unlock code enabled.

Scenario:

1) launch 1Password after device reboot

2) enter master password

3) app is unlocked and I can access my data

4) bring another Android app into the foreground (I didn't exit 1Password)

5) immediately switch back to 1Password from the homescreen (not the recents list)

I have to enter the master password again to open 1Password.

If I do the exact same, except in #5 I switch to 1Password from the recents list, I am asked for the quick unlock code.

Is this by design? I would expect the quick unlock code to work so long as I have not exited 1Password or the time period in the settings has not expired.

    For me it works as it should, it always shows the quick unlock code screen, no matter how I switch back to 1password. Using Beta 7 on a Moto X with 4.4 KitKat.

    Interesting. Thanks for that info. I'll keep an eye on this and watch it for future betas. I am on a 2013 Nexus 7, by the way, 100% stock android.

    Hi @ChristopherS! Thanks for reporting this issue, I was unable to reproduce it on my Nexus 7 (2012) running Android 4.4.2.

    Does this happen all the time? Or does it happen when you have a lot of applications running with limited resources available?

    I will continue to try to reproduce this issue and will be keeping a close eye on this problem. If you are able to record a video of this bug in action, please send it over to: support+androidbeta@agilebits.com

    Thanks in advance! Happy New Year! :)

    Hi @saad.

    I spent a little more time on this today, and I am now unable to reproduce the problem!

    I did a fresh power off/power on of my Nexus 7 and the quick unlock code correctly worked when I swapped back to 1Password either from the recents list or from my home screen (after it had been opened for the first time and I entered my master password).

    I absolutely did observe the problem, as I described above. But, to date, I now cannot reproduce it.

    So, I will keep testing and if I have anything more to add to this specific issue in the future I'll post a follow-up here.

    Chris
