Hey @mmoerman,

1Password in your browser should share the lock state of your 1Password desktop app so if you are able to unlock your app with Windows Hello you should also be able to use it to unlock 1Password in your browser.

Can you follow these steps in Edge and let me know if you can then unlock with Windows Hello:

  1. Right click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings
  2. Turn off the setting that says 'Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app'
  3. Quit both your browser and your 1Password app.
  4. Open and unlock your 1Password app
  5. Open your browser and repeat steps 1 & 2 to re enable the integration.

Let us know how you get on.
