I am having login problem on Android app. It keeps asking password even if I have setup touch Id /Fingerprint/ Biometric login and to never ask for the password. Everytime I triy to fillin a password in context of a browser or app it asks login password. Even when i try to open the standalone app, it again ass password. I have been using 1password for more than 10yrs. And this is not the behaviour. I have setup in security to not ask password anytime or never. It should be always biometric. Or password after 30 days. 

It the problem with andriod version or 1password build. 

I am on Vivo X300 FE on Android version 16. Security patch July1.

Hi ​@sameerchavan, thanks for posting!

I’m sorry to hear that biometric unlock isn’t working, and you’re having to enter your account password each time you try to fill a login or open the app.

So that our team can investigate this further, I'd like to ask you to create and share a 1Password diagnostics report from your Android device: Send a diagnostics report (Android)

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to: support@1password.com 

With your email please include:

You’ll receive a reply with a Support ID number. You can post that number here to help me connect the dots. Thanks!

1password support has become horrible. No response for more than week. It has become a bad company. Earlier 10yrs ago, it was on of the best and responsive and responsible small company. But now they dont care. I need to find another solution now. 

support ticket ID is 761304

Hi ​@sameerchavan, I’m very sorry for the delay here. Our support team are dealing with quite a bit of inflow at the moment, and are working hard to get to everyone as quickly as they can. I can see that you’ve now received a reply from one of my colleagues. I’d recommend keeping the conversation to email to ensure no wires get crossed and there’s no duplication of efforts.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried disabling and re-enabling biometrics on the 1pass app, but it continues to ask for the full 1pass password each time. The option to use device password also does not ever apply.

This is happening with me too. Google Pixel 10 Pro Max with Android 17. It is very annoying when standing at a counter trying to get info and having to type in my password every time. I have biometric login turned on and the Balanced profile. Only started happening in the past couple of days though. Any solution would be appreciated. Thanks.

It seems to have sorted itself now.

Hi ​@alexmidd, I’m sorry to hear that you were running into this as well, though it’s good that it seems to have sorted itself out since.

I would recommend keeping an eye on things for a few days, and if the behaviour returns, let us know, and we’ll be happy to investigate further.

I have the same problem. I have to enter password at least one time per day, sometimes it asks even more often. This is how I can reproduce it quickly (but it reproduces even without this weird sequence, during the day when I need to use the app again after some time):

1. I open the app. It asks for password.

2. I authenticate successfully.

3. I lock it manually and minimize it.

4. I reopen the app. It allows me to authenticate with fingerprint.

5. I lock it manually again.

6. Instead of minimizing the app, I close it.

7. I reopen the app. It requires password again.

The behaviour wasn't like this before. So it basically looks like it asks for the password when the app becomes inactive (when I explicitly close it, or when some relatively short time passes and OS itself probably removes it from active apps).

Edit: Also, closing (not minimizing) the app without manual locking requires password when you open the app again. So it basically looks like this behavior is triggered every time the app becomes inactive or gets killed.
