When are you planning to release the Android app that takes advantage of the fingerprint reader?
Most new Android devices have a fingerprint reader (Nexus 6P and 5X, Samsung GS6, etc.) -- do you have a plan of releasing an update to the Android app that takes advantage of this? It's really annoying to have to type in the password/code each time, given there's fingerprint reader on the device.

Hi @yamnitsky,
Yes, the fingerprint unlock feature is coming soon! The upcoming 1Password for Android update contains a lot of changes and great new features, so it's important that we do thorough internal testing first, then it will go to public beta, and then stable release through the Play Store. We're really excited to share it with you! It won't be too long now. :)

@HorFrost We actually released this in 1Password 6, which exited beta on 8 February. You may not see it, though, because your device doesn't have Marshmallow just yet. Don't worry: More manufacturers are adding it in the coming months. I'd suggest doing a bit of research on your device model to see if and when it will have support for Marshmallow so you can start using it with 1Password. :)

That's awesome! My device should have Marshmallow by April. Thank you!
