Hi all. I just bought a galaxy tab a8 because my old galaxy tab a (2016) with Android 8 wouldn't install the fat version of 1password. Evidently I cannot cannot do what I can do on all windows and even Apple devices, namely have 1password to unlock with biometrics. This tablet appears to support only face recognition and I can lock and unlock the tablet with facial recognition. However one password stubbornly requires my password even though I have it set to require password 4 hours after lock. Something stupid I'm missing? Or is android 13 still Beta for one password?

1Password Version: 8.10.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Android 13

Hi @AlmoEnd, thanks for your message. I'd definitely agree writing for Android devices can be a bit tricky when each device type has different naming conventions. Apologies for any missteps on our part!

Below I've included a GIF from a Samsung S22 running Android 13. You can see I open Recents, scroll over to the 1Password window, tap the icon, then select "Keep Open".

Is that where you see "Lock this app"?

From my experience 1Password doesn't consume too much battery when unrestricted but that may vary somewhat by device and 1Password usage.

If you're referring to terminate-and-stay-resident I don't believe that is still used frequently but I see enough acronyms daily that I might have missed a few 😂.
