On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ I have set the biometric unlock via "Face ID." If I set biometric unlock on 1password app I get below message. What is my mistake?

  • Hello @CologneGuy thanks for your question.

    As security is our priority, we have certain requirements for Face Unlock on Android. We require Google's official Biometric framework to be supported. Additionally, Google's method rates different unlock methods, and 1Password will only support unlock methods considered strong. Some hardware requirements also exist such as depth sensing IR cameras or similar. I know the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL meet these requirements but they are not broadly supported by Android device manufacturers.

    As face unlock is not supported on your device you can use fingerprint unlock if available or set a PIN from Settings > Security. Let us know if there's anything we can help with!

    Thank you for your detailed explanation. Finger print works fine on this device.

  • Hey @CologneGuy, thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear fingerprint unlock is available on your tablet. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
