.

I have upgraded to 1Password 8 for Mac. Yesterday I had to re-set my iPhone settings and since then I cannot use Face ID to open 1Password. I have re-installed the 1Password app, checked to make sure 1Password is approved for using Face ID on my phone. Can you advise?


1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.8.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 15.6
Browser:_ Safari

I am on iPadOS 15.7 latest. Same thing. AFTER I reset all setting, faceid stop working. It showed faceid animation and then showed that did not work. Exactly the same behavior as described in previous comments.

Same here too... new iPhone 14, so all setup fresh and constantly seeing the flash of face id to be told "that didn't work, type your incredibly annoyingly long secure password in for the 902384984 time" or words to that effect. I've tried logging out, turning setting on and off, removing rebooting and reinstalling and still it persists. Its infuriating.

@1P_Dave and @1P_Tommy this issue is months old.. reported here: https://1password.community/discussion/132575/face-id-not-working#latest

(also reported by many users).

Why are so many 1Password staff not yet aware of this? I've contacted support via email a few times as well.. and the initial response is always "surprise" at this issue.. not acknowledgement.

Our developers are indeed investigating an issue with Face ID / Touch ID. A diagnostics report allows us to verify that the user is affected by the known issue rather than by a different issue that would need to be investigated further which is why support may have asked you for a diagnostics report before confirming that you're affected.

Our developers are aware that this issue is affecting a number of users and they're treating this as a priority. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that the issue is causing. If you're interested, my colleague Jack has a posted a workaround however it should only be attempted by technically savvy users who are comfortable with factory resetting their iPhone and restoring from an iCloud backup (since data loss is possible): https://1password.community/discussion/comment/657234/#Comment_657234

Erasing then restoring device fixes it. I restored my iPhone from a backup last night.

I’m having the same exact issue and it’s so freaking annoying to type my password when using safari/apps every single time!
The issue appears when I have reset all my iPhone settings.
Just like this one below
I'm another one having the same issue. Reset All Settings on my iPhone running ios16. Before that 1Password 8 was working fine with Face ID. Now, like with others, it acts like it is working and gives the tick but then it makes me put in the password. Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn't fix.

Same issue here. Had to reset all settings on my iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 16.0.2 and now Face ID fails to log me in. It scans, shows it was successful, but 1Password says that didn’t work. It worked before the reset, but now doesn’t. Tried reinstalling the app and that was a no go.

Any progress on the iPhone Face ID issue? (whereby you cannot open 1Password using Face ID)

September 23, 2022

I had the same problem. Touch ID works on Big Sur, Face ID works on the iPad with iOS15, iPhone 11 Pro with iOS16 did not work.

Same problem since getting my iPhone 14 pro last week. help!
