Unlocking 1Password via Touch ID on macOS doesn't work anymore

Whenever I try to unlock 1Password via Touch ID on my MacBook Pro (16", M1 Max) running macOS Sonoma I now inevitably get a "That didn't work Check your password and try again." message.

I've already tried restarting the device and completely disabling and re-enabling all Touch ID options under the macOS "Touch ID & Password" system settings (including deleting and adding a fingerprint once more) as well as toggling "Touch ID" under 1Password's "Security" settings tab. I've even tried deleting the key named "com.1password.core-biometric-unlock" from the Keychain Access utility (as suggested elsewhere).

To no avail, unfortunately.

Unlocking the device itself with Touch ID works flawlessly and strangely enough, unlocking 1Password via Apple Watch seems to work as well.


1Password Version: 8.10.36
Extension Version: 2.25.1
OS Version: macOS 14.5
Browser: Brave
