PIN unlock in the Browser Extension
What's the latest word on supporting PIN unlock in the browser?
As identified in other threads, unlocking 1pw on a Chromebook is less than ideal. The lack of fingerprint or PIN support is very fr...
"As far as I'm aware there aren't any plans to bring PIN unlock to 1Password in the browser."
What's it take to reconsider this?
While my concern is with the lack of Chromebook support, I'm sure there are plenty of non-Chromebook users (i.e. pc, mac, etc.) that would benefit from being able to specify a unique PIN to access their 1Password Extension.
Using "memorable words" is not a solution. I have no issue remembering or typing my 20+ character password. But I would prefer to avoid continually performing that exercise, when a PIN would meet our needs. Yes, I can extend the timeout .. at the cost of security, but I'd rather have the security plus the convenience of a PIN.
It's easy to let someone access your device. It's much harder to remember to go lock 1password before you do so. A short timeout addresses that issue; but the lack of PIN support makes that less practical.
What's the rationale for not providing better security?
