Hi, i really am a fan of 1password, but i don't understand why i can't have a quick toggle with no system passcode. I don't want a system password, and i don't want to enter a master password everytime. Quick toggle like before was fine to me. I was entering a 4 digit passcode only when opening 1password. Now, even if master password is set to never, i have to enter it everytime the app starts, cause i have no system 4-digit passcode. I would like quick toogle back, just like 4.5.3. Just copy/paste the code from 4.5.3 to 4.6bx, please. If only i had touch id.
That's what i was talking about, it was in fact a bug. I'm glad it will be fixed.

Stay tuned, we'll get it fixed relatively soon.

Hi @HRD,
We're having internal discussions on this and we're leaning to make the passcode mandated to be able to use the PIN code. I'll follow up as soon as we reach a consensus. Your concerns (mine as well since family iPads are often without a passcode) are definitely being taken in consideration here.

You're welcome! Hopefully, good news soon.

Hi guys,
After talking about this internally, we've decided this is going to be the intended design from now on. Due to the increased security provided by the device passcode, we're not going to allow PIN level of security in the 1Password for iOS app unless there is a passcode configured for the device as well.
We know this is an inconvenience for some folks considering this was allowed in previous versions but we've decided to enforce this starting from the 4.6 version and later.

Hi @MikeT,
I note your comments but I have to say I don't like it and to be frank, I suggest your judgement it wrong.
It is for the user to decide the level of security required for his individual needs.
I have to say it is sad day when decisions are enforced that restrict end users workflow.
I kindly suggest you revisit this.

Hi @HRD,
I know how you feel, I feel the same but overall, we have to consider the security integrity of the app/device and to promote better security habits.
We simply don't feel it is a good idea to use 1Password on devices with no passcode and we're willing to enforce that to promote better security habits. We're always balancing between security and convenience, and in this case, the security side is winning. There are just too many cons for not having a passcode on your device, especially after everything we've gone through in the past few years.
The fact that the iOS does have 4-digit PIN code support and you can disable the auto-lock or extends it to the longest possible, we feel this is a better solution.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple enforcing the passcode on their devices in the near future, especially as TouchID gets more support on more iOS devices.
