    When I sync with iCloud and my iphone I noticed that only a 4 digit phone password is used. I am happy with 1password but when I sync with the phone anybody can get 1password information by only playing with 4 digits. Where is the security? What do I do to make it more secure?
    Thanks.

    Hi @wolfgrahl,

    I hope you don't mind, but I moved your message to a new discussion since it's not related to the previous thread. I also moved it to our iOS forum, since it sounds like you're asking about a feature of 1Password 5 for iOS.

    To make sure I understand, are you asking about unlocking 1Password on your iPhone with a 4-digit PIN code instead of your master password? If so, that has nothing to do with iCloud sync, it's just a setting in 1Password for iOS which you would have enabled at some point. In the 1Password app on your iPhone, go to Settings > Security to find the PIN Code settings. If you don't want to unlock 1Password with a PIN code, simply disable that option.

    I hope that helps to clear up the confusion, but if I misunderstood what you meant or you have other questions, just let us know - we're always glad to help!
