How do I disable Touch ID button on my iPhone 5?

Lettege

Hi - I'm able to touch the thumbprint icon to bypass entering the Master Password. There are no Touch ID functions under the 1Password Security Settings or the phone's settings...

Hi @Lettege,

Thanks for taking the time to write in. The settings for Touch ID are within 1Password under Settings > Security:

Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad

Thanks!

Hi Ben - there are no Touch ID functions in the 1Password Settings > Security or on my phone. It's an iPhone 5. I've only got: Lock Now, Lock on Exit, Auto-Lock, PIN Code, 1Password Watchtower, Change Master Password, Clear Clipboard & Conceal Passwords. No Touch ID.

Sorry - my mistake. The iPhone 5 doesn't have Touch ID. You'll need to use the PIN code settings instead.

Thanks!

I don't think you're understanding my problem. I have an iPhone 5. It does not have Touch ID. If I launch 1Password and it requires me to enter my Master Password, e.g. after I restart my phone, I am able to tap the Thumbprint/Touch ID icon and bypass the Master Password. Tapping the Touch ID thumbprint icon allows me circumvent the Master Password and enter my PIN. To my mind, this is an increased security risk. How do I remove the Touch ID thumbprint icon?

@Lettege: You can't remove the icon itself since the reason it's there is so you can use the alternate unlock method you've chosen. If you don't want to use a PIN code, be sure to disable that feature in 1Password Settings > Security. Alternatively, you can change 1Password Settings > Advanced > Security if you simply want to adjust how frequently the Master password is required. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
