Question

Face ID failing and unreliable after update

Apologies if this issue has already been discussed elsewhere but the latest update to 1Password for iOS has introduced a bug where the first Face ID scan will fail when invoking 1P through Password AutoFill

Steps to reproduce:
- Visit website with a stored login
- click 1P suggestion above keyboard
- Face ID scan will often fail, prompting for the account password and immediately and produces haptic feedback
- Press Face ID icon again and the second scan will usually work fine

Minor issue but it is frustrating having this happen at nearly every login

Thanks!

Same problem. It happens on iPhone and iPad.

I had a conversation with support who instructed me to do various things such as disabling and re-enabling Face ID, but unfortunately nothing helped. They have confirmed it is a bug with the app and that an internal work issue is open. I suppose all we can do is wait until it is hopefully fixed soon.

Thank you for reporting back, I'm sorry that none of the workarounds helped. Hopefully the issue is fixed soon.

@bm206

I'm sorry that you're also affected by the issue, I've added your report to the internal work item open with our development team as well.

If it helps: This also happens if I use the Passcode option with Face ID enabled.

I have got the same issue after upgrading from iOS 16 to 17.1.1.

I switched from FaceId to PinCode in the app settings and retried turning on FaceId, I uninstalled and reinstalled but neither of that resolved the issue.

I also had some other strange issues (Contact not showing in the Phone app) so decided to shutdown (Settings ==> General ==> Turn Off) and start it up again.

After the restart, 1Password was back to normal.

I hope that might help.
