Because I have TouchID set up for my husband and son on my iPhone, I would like to be able to limit who has TouchID authentication in 1Password.

    Hi @hstarkeg,

    iOS does not currently offer us the ability to do this. If it were to become a possibility in the future, we'd certainly evaluate that at that point.

    You can read another discussion we had on this same topic recently here:

    https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/47617/improvement-suggestion

    As littlebobbytables mentioned the iOS operating system is designed with a single user per device in mind. It doesn't have features to explicitly support multiple users.

    Thanks!

    Ben

    Shame there isn't anything you can do from your end. Although I don't agree with the idea that Apple designs their products for one person since they allow 5 fingerprints. At any rate, I appreciate you getting back to me.

    Hi @hstarkeg,

    Actually, Apple meant 5 distinct fingerprints from your two hands, not 5 separate fingerprints from 5 different hands. You have a unique print per finger, they're not identical on both hands either. That's why they would ask you to put all 10 fingers on a fingerprint card, not just one.

    In addition, you may not always unlock with the same hand, which is why they let you add more.
