1Password does not recognize fingerprint reader in Magic Keyboard with Touch ID on M1 MacBook Pro

I have an M1 MacBook Pro which I keep closed and attached to an external display, keyboard, and trackpad. I just purchased the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for it. I have set up my fingerprint for the keyboard fingerprint sensor, but 1Password does not recognize it. I can use the keyboard fingerprint sensor to unlock the computer and do everything else it's supposed to do in macOS, but 1Password only offers my Apple Watch to unlock, not the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Is this by design, or will 1Password be updated to support the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID when paired with the M1 MacBook? Thanks!

1Password Version: 7.8.6 (70806000) Mac App Store
Extension Version: 7.8.6
OS Version: macOS 11.5.1 (20G80)

+1.. using TouchID with 1Password was the main reason I shelled out the $$ to get the new keyboard.

+1 same issue here. Bought the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID specifically for 1Password so I can keep my M1 MacBook Pro closed and connected to a monitor. Looking forward to this getting fixed!

@1P_Tommy I just downloaded the beta and IT WORKS!!!

I'm on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) with the new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. I had a successful 1P unlock using the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID to unlock via the app, Safari extension and Chrome extension.

Thanks for the assist. This is so convenient now!
