Hello,

I would like to use the finger scanner on my Windows Surface Pro to log into 1Password.
I have the finger print scanner built into my keyboard. This would make it easy and secure to login. Do you know if this is being worked on?

    Hi @mrlawmsp,

    Thank you for using 1Password! :)

    Fingerprint reader support requires Windows Hello support and Windows Store app. We are working on an UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app right now, but I don't have any timeframe for when that will be ready or when we will have a fingerprint unlock in 1Password on Windows.

    Should you have any other questions about 1Password for Windows or 1Password in general, feel free to contact us anytime.

    Cheers,
    Greg

    It's great to hear that you're working on a UWP app with Hello support. Thanks!

    Add me to this too. Looking forward to this version - especially the version for Windows 10 mobile. I know, small user base, but I still use the version that was released a few years ago (only available via my Library now on my. phone) but it still works and allows me to look up the odd password if i'm out and about.

    Thank you for chiming in. I can't say when we'll have a new UWP version ready, but it's important to us to follow Microsoft's lead and use their tools to make the best — and most forward-thinking — app we can. Cheers! :)
