I own 3 apple devices - a macbook pro, an ipad pro 9.7 v1 and an iphone 7. On my ipad I use a 4 digit pin rather than touch id. On my iphone 7 I simply can't get touch id to function consistently so I would like to use a pin # to open 1Password. I can't find this option in 1Password settings and it makes 1Password useless except in dire emergencies.

How do I set up 1Password to accept a pin #?

1Password Version: ios 7.0.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: ios 11.2.1
Sync Type: icloud

    Very simple @GHI7575.

    Open 1Password, tap Advanced - Security - PIN Code.

    You'll now be prompted for a PIN instead of TouchID.

    However when you restart your device, or if you get your PIN incorrect, you'll be forced to enter your master password for security reasons.

    This is exactly why it’s sometimes good to be anonymous on the internet. My friends think I’m the person to turn to for solutions to problems like this. They don’t need to know I can’t always solve my own problems. I thought I had checked every single menu option.

    Thanks for the help.
