Passkey unlocked using device passcode
Hi,
A silly question, maybe, regarding unlocking 1Password with a passkey.
I was one of the private beta users and, while I found it very convenient, there is an aspect that worries me a lot. Pr...
I agree with the above scenario! Very worrisome that 1Password can be opened by only a phone's passcode, if I select the unlock with Passkey option! In my opinion, that is a big security design flaw! I will not be turning that option on.
Apple in the new iOS 17.3 beta, is finally implementing some protection if someone steals your phone and is able to obtain your phone's passcode. They have added much needed protection to critical elements of your phone. Like requiring only biometrics to unlock your iCloud (Keychain) password database. The iPhone's passcode is no longer a fallback to unlock your iCloud (Keychain) password database, unless you are at home or work. But this new protection in iOS 17.3 will not apply to 1Password.
In my opinion, having a phone's passcode to unlock 1Password is a big step backwards in security for 1Password.
