[BETA - WIN] Unlock with Device doesn't work

Question

I'm using the 1Password BETA on Windows 11 and I've been trying out the "Unlock with Device" feature since its release. Unfortunately, I've never managed to get it to work. Each time it fails to unlock, I'm prompted for my master password, which makes the whole experience less convenient than just using Windows Hello/TPM on its own.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about this feature, and the dedicated Reddit thread seems to be quite inactive with little to no feedback or discussion. It's tough to tell if this is a widespread issue or if I'm doing something wrong. I've seen a few others mention similar problems, but I haven't come across any posts from users who have actually gotten it to work consistently.

I'm keen to help get this feature off the ground. Are there any specific troubleshooting steps I can take or logs I can provide that would be helpful for the developers? I'm happy to provide any information that could assist in resolving this issue.
