Hi @ManuCH:

After doing some further investigation with the way WebAuthn works in iOS 16, allowing for Touch ID or Face ID unlock for 1Password for Safari created a less secure environment than we were comfortable with. Because security is our top priority, we disabled the feature until we can find a suitable replacement.

@Nicholas1P:

I'd love to see the return of Face ID or Touch ID unlock to 1Password for Safari as well, but as it currently stands I don't have any timeframes to share just yet. Thanks for your feedback!

Jack
