1password Extension unlock biometrics?
Hi guys , is there a way to unlock the shiny new iOS safari extension via faceid or touchid. Thanks a lot

@ag_ana I should clarify since I didn't give you much to go on. Let me share a better explanation.
- Cold start of iPhone 12 running iOS 15 (reboot)
- After restart, I open 1password app and I have to enter the password or use FaceID. I choose the latter.
- I go into Safari. Go to website.
Here is where I think the flow is unusual. I have AutoFill Passwords option turn on with the phone (since this is what I would use with iOs 14). Now when I go to a website I see the 1Password icon in the userID field on the website AND I have the key icon and "Passwords" box above the virtual keyboard.
Two choices to use (which now seems redundant with the new extension):
If I select the Passwords selection on the bottom, it brings up the faceID and brings up the account login information.
If I select the 1password icon in the UserID field, I will get the "Please unlock 1Password from the toolbar icon". This I assume is because this is a cold start and it is not using the local 1Password app verification.
I click the puzzle piece at the bottom (which is sometimes hidden by the virtual keyboard "Passwords" box) and select 1Password. 1Password comes up and here is where the question comes. I have to enter my 1Password mater password and there is no biometric ability here.
That last sentence was what I was trying to understand on lack of biometric. I am guessing that 1Password is not using the local 1Password app for verification and is using the online service only so to 1Password makes you use the Master Password since this is your "first time" and will remember from that point on (for 1 day by default unless changed).
