Hello bugwhat! 👋

When 1Password is locked you'll need to use your account password to unlock the app. If you've enabled Face ID, or passcode, unlock for 1Password then you'll be able to use Face ID or your device's passcode to unlock the app instead. You can read more about the security of using Face ID with 1Password here: About Face ID security in 1Password for iOS

You can control how often you're prompted for your account password:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password.
  2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
  3. Tap Security.
  4. Change "Require password" to the desired time.

It is not other people’s face I am worried about. It is my own face by force.

Can you tell me more about this? If you're worried about Face ID then why not just disable it entirely? If someone forces you to use Face ID to unlock 1Password then wouldn't they also be able to force you to enter your passcode or account password? Are there specific situations where you'd like to disable Face ID but have it still be available available in other situations?
